N.P. Mander Organ Recital


The N.P. Mander organ—at 5,000 pipes, 30 tons and 45 feet high—is the largest tracker-action pipe organ in the New York metropolitan area. This massive, kingly instrument bellows beneath the massive vaults at St. Ignatius Loyola. All N.P. Mander Organ Recitals feature large-screen projection, offering the audience a rare view of the organist at work.

Since 2011, Director of Music Ministries K. Scott Warren has led a dynamic music team consisting of over 150 individuals, professional and volunteer, in providing music at approximately 400 liturgies annually.  He is the principal conductor of the 18-voice professional Choir of St. Ignatius Loyola, which sings a demanding schedule of services throughout the year, with repertoire spanning Gregorian chant to 21st-century masterpieces.  The choir, along with the Orchestra of St. Ignatius Loyola, form the backbone of the parish’s critically acclaimed concert series, Sacred Music in a Sacred Space, whose recent performances have been lauded by the New York Times as “stirring…positively thrilling” and “broad, wide-ranging, and powerful”.  In addition to the vast choral spectrum presented at St. Ignatius, Mr. Warren presides over the four manual, 91-rank N. P. Mander Organ, the largest mechanical action organ in the New York metro area, and an instrument of international stature.


From 2002 to 2004, Mr. Warren served as Assistant Organist at Temple Emanu-El, Fifth Avenue, becoming Organist and Choirmaster in 2006.  In this capacity he leads the 17-voice professional Temple Emanu-El Choir in 120 full choral liturgies annually.  The Temple boasts three pipe organs, including the Main Sanctuary organ, originally built in 1929 by Casavant (dedicated by Marcel Dupré), most recently renovated by Sebastian Glück in 2002.


As a collaborative musician, Mr. Warren has appeared as organist with the New York Philharmonic, the American Symphony Orchestra, the New York Pops, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, and the Dresden Philharmonic, in venues ranging from Carnegie and Avery Fisher Halls to the Ravinia and Bravo! Vail music festivals.  Mr. Warren has also had an active career as choral accompanist, working with Voices of Ascension, Musica Sacra, the Choir of Trinity Church, Wall Street, the Oratorio Society of New York, and the New Jersey Oratorio Society, among others.  His work as accompanist has been featured on National Public Radio.


Mr. Warren is a native of Dallas, Texas, and a graduate of the University of North Texas, where he studied organ with Dr. Jesse E. Eschbach. His choral music is published by Oxford University Press, and has been performed throughout Asia, Europe and North America.
