Contrabombarde Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 James Mcinnie gives the opening recital of the newly restored and completed Hill at Shrewsbury Abbey tomorrow Fri 15 October at 630pm. I say complete as it has taken 110 years to add pipes to the many "prepared for" drawstops but it is a beautiful instrument to play and hear. Details of a weekend of events and the new specification can be found at https://www.shrewsburyabbey.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salcional Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 This moment has been long in coming and now after 110 years of incompleteness, it is definitely well worth coming to Shrewsbury tonight to hear the Hill organ played by James McVinnie at 6.30 pm. His recent performance at the BBC Proms attracted glowing reviews, and he is playing a varied and exciting programme concluding with a selection from the Stravinsky Firebird Suite. Tickets available on line or at the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveHarries Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Greetings all. I thought this might be of interest to members of this forum. Some of you may recall posts of 27th May 2018 - https://mander-organs-forum.invisionzone.com/topic/4336-st-elizabeth-wroclaw-historical-reconstruction/ - and others about the construction of the replica of the Engler organ (1752-1761) in St. Elizabeth's Church, Wroclaw, Poland: the work has been going on over the last couple of years by a 3-way consortium comprising Orgelbau Klais (Bonn, Germany), Organowy Zych (Wolomin, Poland) and Orgues Thomas (Stavelot, Belgium). It is pleasing to note that the work is now finished and the details of the dedication service and recital are now online. The dedication concert is scheduled for Friday 28th January and is to be given by Lorenzo Ghielmi (Titular Organist of San Simpliciano, Milan) commencing at 1800hrs UK Time (1900 Polish Time). Wroclaw City Hall distributed free tickets for this event. The service and recital above will be broadcast on the city's website at http://www.wroclaw.pl and, in addition, there are "6 to 8 organ concerts" planned for February "so that everyone who is interested can participate in such an event live" which suggests that these concerts may also be broadcast live on the city's website. The above info is from https://www-elzbieta-archidiecezja-wroc-pl.translate.goog/?p=2446&_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB&_x_tr_pto=wapp which also gives details of the dedication mass which, even though I don't understand a single word of Polish, is in my diary along with the concert and I will be tuning in if able. If I was in Wroclaw (I have been: lovely city) I would love to go to that inaugural concert if I could! I hope this is of interest. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveHarries Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I notice this thread hasn't had anything since 24th March but I decided to bump it to pass on this date for your diaries. It should be good! ROYAL ALBERT HALL Sunday 04th June, 7:30pm Concert featuring David Brggs, Wayne Marshall, Thomas Trotter, Anna Lapwood & Isabelle Demers as part of the RAH 150 celebrations. Details & programme: https://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/events/2023/organ-celebration/ I don't know how many tickets remain for this concert which has been rescheduled from Thursday 20th May 2021: the RAH website says tickets for the original date are valid for the new one. It would be good if BBC Radio 3 aired this for the benefit of those who can't get to London easily. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
