Arts Week - Lunchtime Organ Recital

Repetition is at the core of our nature as human beings. Our brains are hard-wired to look for patterns, which often delight us when we find them.

This recital explores the theme of repetition through four pieces of music which each take a small idea and then create new sonic worlds with them, taking us along for the journey.

Two pieces are old: Buxthude’s lyrical Chaconne and Bach’s monumental Passacaglia. Two pieces are contemporary: Giles Swayne’s Riff-Raff and Philip Glass’s Mad Rush.

If you like Interstellar, you will love this.
