"Royal Canadian College of Organists national president Nicholas Fairbank points to Vancouver organist Michael Dirk, who... performed a sold-out tribute to iconic organ showman Virgil Fox at Music Fest Vancouver." - MacLean's Magazine
"Organist and choirmaster Michael Dirk is both an exceptional musician and a somewhat obsessive student of keyboard chronology—a winning combination, as far as I’m concerned. Mixing virtuosity with humour, his fancy footwork on Wilhelm Middelschulte’s pedals-only extravaganza Perpetuum Mobile was... mindblowing, and when he added his hands to the mix for Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Gigue” Fugue in G Major he proved that Holy Trinity’s 100-year-old Casavant Frères organ is truly a civic treasure." - The Georgia Strait
