Tom Hazleton

"A master of the King of Instruments," according to the Los Angeles Times, Tom Hazleton is considered to be one of few concert organists equally at home at the console of classical and theatre organs. Tom was named "Organist of the Year" in 1986 by the American Theatre Organ Society. As a leading recording artist, Tom has many widely acclaimed recordings to his credit including seven CDs of theatre pipe organs featured in the OHS Catalog. Tom studied at the San Francisco State University, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and with noted organist-composer Richard Purvis at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. For over 13 years he was Organist and Associate Director of Music at the Menlo Park (California) Presbyterian Church. He was formerly Professor of Organ at the University of the Pacific and was the last staff organist at the San Francisco Paramount Theatre. Tom has concertized worldwide including at the Mormon Tabernacle, Sydney Opera House, Radio City Music Hall, the John Wanamaker store and the Crystal Cathedral.
