Title: Where are all the UK concerts?
Post by: organforumadmin on April 11, 2010, 12:04:17 PM
Hi!

Lots of things are apparently going on in the US. Why not in England? www.organrecitals.com is brilliant but here in this space is an opportunity for player and audience _enthusiasts_ to post details of concerts most importantly with the reasons why they love the programme and why they love the instrument at the chosen venue enough to want a concert there.

Is there no-one in England, Scotland and Wales with enthusiasm?

Best wishes

Really good question.  Having found from various sources information about public concerts being given on instruments I had mentioned, I figured it would be prudent to bring these to the attention of
our forum members and guests.

In particular a concert next Sunday at Pacific Lutheran University featuring this organ      http://www.gothic-catalog.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=LRCD%2D1025&Show=TechSpecs (http://www.gothic-catalog.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=LRCD%2D1025&Show=TechSpecs)

which I plan to attend.


I hope you have had a chance to read all of the reviews in the above link, one would understand why I wish to attend... Especially the review from  Magazine Orgue...  I need only burn off a quarter-tank of petrol... (much less expense than flying halfway round the world 8)  pay the $15.00 admission and "hear and see it in person" 8)   Having just heard a radio broadcast of it... only one piece (Bach Fugue in B minor) I want to hear more, more, more ;) ;) ;)
