Gala Organ Concert at Hereford Cathedral

Join Peter Dyke as he performs a Gala Organ Concert on the evening of Tuesday 13 September.

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of César Franck, whose music for the organ is richly colourful and often profoundly moving. Peter Dyke will play Franck’s final works, his Trois Chorals. Each of these has an original hymn-like melody at its heart, but is clothed in symphonic colour and development to create an emotional journey. The most famous of these, the third Chorale, was completed only while the composer was on his deathbed but ends triumphantly and defiantly.

The concert will include a large screen projection from the organ loft.
