PREVIEW: ORGAN MASTERWORKS
St Pancras Church

HANDEL'S rarely performed concerto in F for organ and wind ensemble is to feature at an organ masterworks concert at the grand St Pancras Parish Church in Euston Road on Saturday (July 4).
The concert is being given by the Bloomsbury Woodwind Ensemble to raise money for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund.
Nicholas Sherwood, piano, organ and singing tutor at Newham Academy of Music, will be playing the church’s superb organ.
Originally built in 1856 for a musical hall in Birmingham, the organ was bought by the church trustees for £400 in 1864 and has subsequently been restored and added to over the years.
As well as the Handel concerto, the concert will include wind works by Tallis, Boellmann and Mendelssohn as well as Messiaen’s rhythmically complex Joie et Clarte des Corps Glorieux.
The Bloomsbury Wind Ensemble was founded in 1993 by Graham Lyons, the musician, composer and inventor of the “Lyons C Clarinet” for children.

* The concert starts at 7.30pm.
Tickets priced at £8/£6 conc will be available on the door.
