Iain Farrington Voices of the World

An unmissable recital on the mighty organ of Ampleforth Abbey, with big screen video projection live from the organ loft. Thomas Trotter is one of Britain’s most widely admired musicians and a recent winner of the Queen’s Medal for Music. From works by Bach to dazzling virtuoso showpieces, this typically varied and exuberant programme ends with Iain Farrington’s ‘jazzily flouncy floozy’, composed for the Coronation of His Majesty the King.

‘an amazing organ piece by Iain Farrington cleverly combined tunes from across the Commonwealth with Fats Waller-style jazz … few present could have heard a cathedral organ sound so inebriated’ The Times
