Programme to include music by Bach, Elgar and Franck.
The Concert Hall and the Berkshire Organists' Association present a series of lunchtime organ recitals by locally and nationally renowned organists.
All recitals begin at 1pm and last approximately 45 minutes.
Pay What You Can
Our much-loved Father Willis Organ is at the heart of our recital programme. To keep it sounding at its very best, it needs not only to be played regularly but also to receive ongoing care, maintenance and attention — all of which come at a significant cost.
You can help keep the organ alive by choosing what you pay for your recital ticket.
The minimum ticket price is £5 in advance (£7 on the door), but if you are able, you may choose to pay other amounts up to £20.
Every contribution helps us care for this remarkable instrument and ensure that it can continue to be enjoyed for many years to come. Thank you for your support and generosity.
The Pantry Cafe
The Pantry Cafe will be open before the Organ Recital for recital attenders. 11.30am - 12.45pm
Serving light snacks, hot & cold drinks.
(Please note: this is a reduced service to normal opening, but seating will be available.)
Berkshire Organists' Association
Patron: Dame Gillian Weir
The Berkshire Organists' Association is proud to support the series of organ recitals on the historic Father Willis organ in the Concert Hall, ensuring that this important instrument is played and heard regularly.
Our association was formed in 1921 with the aims of promoting the art of organ playing, bringing the organ and its music to the public, and providing advice and support to players. We hold regular organ-related events monthly for members, including social gatherings and visits to churches, cathedrals and concert halls across Southern England. We also arrange public organ concerts in local churches.
New members, who need not be players, can be assured of a very warm welcome. We hope that anyone interested in the organ and its music will join us.
