His program includes works for organ by Mendelssohn, Mulet, Vierne, David Briggs and Anthony Newman, as well as Tharp's own transcriptions of orchestral music by Elgar and Stravinsky.
The other three guest performers in this new series are Sean Jackson (July 18), Ken Cowan (July 25) and German jazz organist Barbara Dennerlein (August 1).
All of these Wednesday evening summer organ concerts begin at 7 p.m. Information and tickets are available at www.kimmelcenter.org.
