Pope Benedict & Rodgers

It's just been announced that Rodgers has again been chosen as the instrument to greet the arrival of Pope Benedict XVI, this time on his visit to New York. The organist from the Brooklyn Cathedral will play a Trillium Masterpiece Series 928 at both the welcome ceremony at JFK International and the farewell event on Sunday, also at JFK. This is the third time in 12 months that Rodgers has helped celebrate papal events, including huge outdoor Masses in Brazil and Austria.
