David Briggs – International Organ Virtuoso
It is a real coup for St Michael’s to have David Briggs come and formally open our newly installed pipe organ next month. It will be a thrilling opportunity to hear one of the world’s foremost organists perform pieces from J S Bach to Dukas’ the Sorcerer’s Apprentice (from Disney’s Fantasia), and to improvise a Symphony from themes suggested by the audience!
And a beautiful poster for the whole of our busy Festival Season.
Heritage & Music Festival 2014
We hope to see those who live near enough at St Michael’s as we celebrate.
Best regards, Richard.
