JOY-LEILANI GARBUTT

"This was another highlight, as Garbutt played through the difficult and diverse piece with clarity and poise." 

R. Derek Wetzel

The Harvard Crimson

​

"Dr. Garbutt is an excellent example of the 'organist-scholar' we need in the field. Her extensive research of women composers and organists active in France from 1872-1954, the era mirroring the tenures of César Franck through Marcel Dupré at the Paris Conservatoire, is an excellent resource for exploring the wealth of music outside of standard repertoire lists.  Her presentation for our Pedagogy Class was fascinating, informative, and yielded many new possibilities for teaching and performing."

Dr. Nicole Keller

Assistant Professor of Music and University Organist
University of Michigan

​

"Her playing transcended the academic aspect of the compositions and touched the soul of each of the composers. How marvelous it is when scholarship and art join together and are manifested in an outpouring of pure artistic expression."
