organ recitaL series 2016

For the second year running, each recital will feature a big screen, relaying the performer at work in the organ loft. Audience members sitting in the Nave will be able to get a good view of the organ loft, the performer’s hands and feet, and the many complexities of recitalists playing and handling our great Father Willis Organ.

Listeners who prefer simply to enjoy the sounds without the screen may still sit in the Quire, where the organ may be heard in fine detail.
