Kosnik is a member of the Liturgical Organists Consortium, sponsored by the J. S. Paluch Company/World Library Publications (Chicago, IL).  The Consortium’s first CD “The Sacred Legacy of Paris,” recorded at St. Patrick’s Church in Washington, received a “Golden Ear Award” for “best recording” in the journal, “The Absolute Sound.”  The Consortium’s second CD, “Divinum Mysterium: Music For The Nativity,” was recorded at St. John’s Cathedral in Milwaukee.  The Consortium’s most recent recording, “ChantMosaic: Organ Music Inspired By Chant,” was recorded at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis.  Kosnik’s performance from the “Chant Mosaic” CD of “Victimae paschali laudes,” composed by Theophane Hytrek, SSSF, was broadcast nationally on PIPEDREAMS on Easter Sunday, 2001.

In addition, Kosnik has recorded two solo organ CDs: “Ancient Song, Sacred Sound,” recorded on the 1994 Lively-Fulcher organ at St. Patrick’s Church in Washington, DC, and “The Organ Music of César Franck,” also recorded at St. Patrick’s Church.  His recording of “Veni Emmanuel,” composed by Adolphus Hailstork, was also broadcast nationally on PIPEDREAMS.
