Choir & Organ Magazine November 2021 Edición anterior

In the November issue of Choir & Organ we meet Ensemble Pro Victoria, a group with a passion for the renaissance repertoire of England and the Iberian peninsula; a tour of Fratelli Ruffatti’s Padua workshop catches a glimpse of a ‘monster’ organ for California’s Crystal Cathedral and a new instrument for Pershore Abbey; and Errollyn Wallen discusses the influences on her compositions and the need for classical music to reconnect with the general public.

Plus, the magnum opus of a little-known 19th-century York organ builder finds a new home in its native city; mosaics and music-making in Ravenna, Italy; Bournemouth Symphony Chorus celebrates its 110th anniversary; the score for Lillie Harris’s tender carol Christmas Silence commissioned by Choir & Organ for Ben Parry and the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain; how a Wells Kennedy organ in a Northern Ireland concert venue sparked a project to commission short pieces from some unlikely composers; Suzi Digby speaks to David Hill about the importance of music education; Presto Music’s Chris O’Reilly; our guide to early music festivals; and in the last of her series, Natascha Reich considers how the organs of the Altiplano reflect Anden indigenous culture.
