Stewart W. Foster / Epic Organ Recital by St. Edward's Resident Organist

When Stewart W. Foster knew, at age 4, he needed a teacher to take him to the next level, he began taking lessons from Jack W. Jones, then organist at Royal Poinciana Chapel in Palm Beach. Several years later he traveled to Europe as accompanist of Masterworks Chorus, the community chorus which Jones founded and led. Upon Jones’ retirement, Foster replaced Jones as organist of Royal Poinciana Chapel. In 2023, he became organist at St. Edward Roman Catholic Church, at the time that the church’s Kilgen Organ, installed in 1938, was restored. Mr. Foster will demonstrate the extraordinary capabilities and sounds of one of Palm Beach’s greatest pipe organs. Foster earned a bachelor of arts in organ performance from Stetson University, a Diplome de Concertiste in organ from L’Ecole Normale Superieure de Musique in Paris and a Master of Arts in early music and harpsichord from the University of Texas.
