About
organ recitals at St. Dominic's Priory
Organ recitals take place once a month on a SATURDAY
and last approximately one hour (without an interval). Admission
is free but a collection is made to help cover expenses and
support other musical activities in the church. Four or five
recitals each year are given by myself, the rest are given
by invited guests.
Since our organ recital series began in 2000 I have been
most grateful for the support and encouragement shown by so
many who regularly enjoy the "Willis experience"
here at St. Dominic's. Our programme for 2008 features some
of this country's most distinguished players. You will find
further information online at www.organrecitals.com,
with more details of the organ and the concerts.
Our audiences enjoy a great variety of music, demonstrating
the magnificence the organ and its repertoire at the hands
of some marvellous players. St Dominic's Priory is not in
a popular tourist area, but we nevertheless welcome visitors
from far and wide; some making special visits to London just
to attend. The enthusiasm shown by everyone I have spoken
with suggests that, as we continue to offer monthly recitals,
a larger group of followers will soon join our 'regulars'
and enjoy the unique sound of Henry Willis' masterpiece for
themselves.
At the moment our advertising is limited to local newspapers,
London magazines, organ-journals and handbills. Any further
support or ideas you may feel able to contribute will be greatly
appreciated and will be for the benefit of the organ at large.
I hope you will be able to join us for at least some of the
concerts and look forward to seeing you in The Lord Southampton
for refreshments afterwards!
If you know of anyone who might be interested in joining
our mailing list to receive information about future concerts,
please let me know. Leaflets are available at the door of
the church at all times and are free to be collected in any
quantity.
