St John’s Camberwell will celebrate the long-awaited installation of a splendid new chancel pipe organ with a recital by virtuoso Thomas Heywood.
The program includes works by JS Bach, Chopin, Dubois, Guilmant, Schubert, Sullivan & Swann.
The instrument is a unique addition to Australasia’s heritage of over 2500 pipe organs. It is one of the largest and most versatile musical instruments in suburban Melbourne.
St John’s organist David Byrne said the congregation was excited to have such a stunning instrument in their midst, for use in liturgy, concerts, teaching and accompaniment.
“This is the culmination of many years of planning and commitment by dedicated people who love fine music,” he said. “This recital is a wonderful occasion to welcome this grand addition to the cultural life of Melbourne”.
The recital is on Saturday 8 June at 6pm. More information is available at: trybooking.com/events/landing/1223806.
