On February 8, 1898, the French organist and composer, Alexandre Guilmant gave a recital in Kansas City as part of his tour of the United States. This recital took place at the Grand Avenue church. Guilmant had a long, distinguished career as a performer, composer, and teacher. He lived from 1837 to 1911.
