Martin Seymour Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Dear All I am going to Venice on honeymoon next week with my new wife who is also a church organist. Do any of you have contacts of organists or directors of music whereby we could get to play a few organs whilst visiting? All best, Martin 07813 079797 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavecin Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Martin, Firstly, many congratulations and welcome to the board! Sadly, Venice like Rome is a poor place for organs; most churches (and we visited most a couple of years ago) don't have an organ, some have rather decrepit-looking unrestored historic organs, a few have very nasty small early/mid C20th organs. The only 'proper' organs I came across were the new Ahrend organ in San Salvador, this is a Renaissance style instrument in an historic C16th case. The other the 1766 Callido organ in San Marco, restored by Zanin in 1995. Good luck and enjoy your visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
