Begins with Messiaen's Apparition de L'Eglise Eternelle. Between two of Mendelssohn's preludes and fugues (G major and C minor), we'll be treated to Bach's masterful arrangement of Vivaldi's Concerto in D minor and Langlais' Incantation pour un Jour Saint, and the programme concludes with Bach's sparkling Pièce d'Orgue

David Cowen, Organist, Leicester Cathedral
Centrepiece of his programme is Liszt's Fantasia and Fugue on the Chorale 'Ad nos, ad salutarem undam', which he presents alongside two preludes by the Dutch organist and educator Jacques von Oortmerssen and The Trees Unfold by Judith Weir, the first woman to hold the post of Master of the Queen's Music. He concludes with perhaps the most famous of Louis Vierne's Pièces de Fantasie, the Carillon de Westminster
28 August
David Hill, Concert Organist
His programme is currently a closely guarded secret (even we don't know what he's playing!), the one thing that is certain is that we're in for a treat.
