ORGAN RECITAL

David Sanger, President, The Royal College of Organists

 

David Sanger, President of the Royal College of Organists, gave an outstanding performance on the Harrison and Harrison Chapel organ on 22nd April, including works by Robert Schumann, Seth Bingham, J S Bach, Louis Vierne as well as his own Marche Europėenne. We were delighted to welcome to the recital many friends of the College who so generously enabled the purchase and installation of the new organ which was opened by Naji Hakim in 2007.
