Biography
Internationally acclaimed organist Damin Spritzer has been praised for performances that are “spellbinding” (Organists Review), “expressive and musical” (American Record Guide), and “enormously sensitive” (AAM Journal). Known for her championing of rare and rediscovered repertoire, she has performed across the U.S., Europe, South America, and as far as Israel, appearing at major festivals, universities, and international conventions. A prolific recording artist for Raven Recordings, her eight acclaimed albums pair overlooked composers with historic instruments worldwide, earning consistent praise in review.

Her pioneering scholarship on Alsatian-American composer René Louis Becker produced a multi-volume critical edition, monograph, and three world-premiere recordings. Dr. Spritzer is Area Chair and Associate Professor of Organ at the University of Oklahoma and Artist-in-Residence for Cathedral Arts in Dallas. She holds degrees from the University of North Texas, the Eastman School of Music, and Oberlin Conservatory, and is represented in North America exclusively by Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists, LLC.
