A treat from a real master!

Organist John Pryer to visit St Mary's on 27 January
 


 

It gives me great pleasure that John Pryer has agreed to come and give the first of our celebrity organ recitals 2008.

John studied at Clifton with the famous organist Mr Fox, notorious for playing the organ with one hand due to a war injury. He was an Oxford Organ Scholar and has worked at Birmingham Metropolitan and Anglican Cathedrals.

He is a renowned improviser and has performed across Europe including Notre Dame, Paris.

He visits St. Mary's on Sunday 27 January at 7.30pm to dazzle us with his improvising skills and entertain us with his non-PC organ management in which he extracts as much colour as possible from the organ. A concert not to be missed!!!

Watch out for celebrity organ recital two (date to be confirmed) when Thomas Dahl (Kappelmeister, St. Petri Hamburg) visits St. Mary's with pieces by Bach and Reger!

Director of Music
