Choir & Organ Magazine March 2022 Retour à l'édition précédente

In the March issue of Choir & Organ we pay tribute to Francis Jackson, ‘an astonishingly talented musician and an eminently lovable gentleman’ who was involved in music at York Minster for 90 years.

Plus, Henry Fairs continues his series on organs in the German capital with a baroque organ in the Marienkirche that has undergone multiple changes; the imaginative project that won the Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia an RPS Award; how the Scott Brothers Duo became an online sensation; exploring the musical lineage of Lisbon, one of Europe’s most vibrant cities; Adolphus Hailstork’s choral response to the police killing of George Floyd in 2020; how a birthday present to a teenage Felix Mendelssohn led to a revival of Bach’s St Matthew Passion; a new organ in the Létourneau workshop takes the Canadian firm in a new direction; conductor Ellie Slorach on music-making in Manchester; how William Hill laid significant foundations for organ building in the 19th century; Alex Ho introduces the score for Scratch Theatre, his new work commissioned by Choir & Organ for VOCES8; and our Summer Schools and Short Courses supplement.
