Blast Off! Dan Moult unleashes an explosion of organ sound
Date: Sat, 13th May 2017, 15:00 - 17:30
Venue: St Barnabas Cathedral, North Circus Street, Nottingham NG1 5AE
An illuminating, myth-busting afternoon in Nottingham Cathedral, introducing new players and interested listeners (teachers, parents, family) to the fascinating and accessible world of the organ.
This eye- and ear-opening introduction, arranged by the Royal College of Organists, is for anyone who thinks that the organ
- couldn't possibly be fun
- is only ever used to accompany hymns
- is only played by church musicians
- is too difficult to learn
- can't be played by children
Dan Moult, communicator, educator and organist par excellence, will blow away all these – and other – misconceptions and demonstrate some of the endless possibilities of this most versatile and rewarding instrument.
People of all ages are welcome, players or non-players. If you've ever wanted to know more about the organ then come along and prepare yourself for a multi-sensory challenge. There is no charge for young people aged 15 and under: to reserve a free place contact Robert Gower via email robertgower10@gmail.com or telephone 05603 488231.
The charge for those aged 16 and over is £5. Places should be booked online at www.rco.org.uk/events.php?eventid=480. It will be possible to pay on the door, but booking in advance enables the organisers to tailor the event to the numbers attending.
