David Hegarty is a prolific composer/arranger, concert artist, church organist/choir director, and private teacher. He is best known in the Bay Area as the senior staff organist of the Castro Theatre (since 1978), for appearing regularly at the Stanford Theatre in Palo Alto, and for monthly pops concerts at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor.

On Saturdays and Sundays at 4:00 p.m.—the first weekend of every month—David Hegarty plays Pops Concerts on the sumptuous 63-rank E. M. Skinner symphonic organ.

Repertoire is carefully selected to take full advantage of the ample orchestral resources of the instrument, which includes a full array of percussions normally found only on theatre organs. Each concert generally includes specially crafted transcriptions of Hollywood film music, light orchestral pieces by composers like Leroy Anderson, Eric Coates, and Haydn Wood, and medleys of familiar songs from Broadway and Hollywood musicals.
