Organ Recital Wed 25-09-2024 in Bowral

Brett’s next recital is Wednesday 25th September 2024 at 1.15pm at St Jude’s Church, Bendooley Street, Bowral.

Music is to include the beautiful Berceuse by Vierne, Whitlock’s Folk Tune, S.S. Wesley’s Choral Song & Fugue, and the premiere of Brett’s two short organ works: Dulciana Voluntary No.1 and Chanson du Hautbois.

The Dulciana Voluntary is a genre believed to be pioneered by Brett, and is based on concepts from early English organ genres (which included Diapason Voluntaries, Trumpet Voluntaries, and Cornet Voluntaries).

Brett’s next recital is Wednesday 28 August at 1.15pm at St Jude’s Bowral. This is the third concert in the series celebrating the completion of the rebuild of the St Jude’s organ. Music will include Mendelsohn’s Sonata No. 6, Vaughan Williams’ Rosymedre, and the premiere of my new ‘A Little Passacaglia & Fugue in memoriam Robert Smith’, commissioned by his widow. It is a great honour to have been asked to compose and now play this work. We hope you can join us on this occasion to honour Sydney Organist Robert Smith’s memory.
