Mr.  Higgs is the Chair of the Organ Department at the Eastman School of Music

NEW YORK CITY   "Mr. Higgs' outstanding virtues are three: very secure finger work, an unusual sense of tempo that is at once buoyant and rock-steady, and an imaginative judgement of organ registrations that subtly exploits a wide range of effects but never insists on showing us the whole range within a single piece. Of these, the rhythmic security is perhaps most remarkable. One felt it immediately in the athletic flow of Bach's D Major Prelude."
The New York Times

DENVER   (National Convention, The American Guild of Organists) "David Higgs played a stunning recital…He played the Reubke with an effortless demeanor, shaping lyrical phrases with a subtle rubato and providing a fiendish drive to the difficult manual figurations and scale passages."
The American Organist
