Organ recital inspired by the paths, streams, and wildlife of the Dorsington arboretum.

for 1 hour
St Peter's Church, Dorsington
Dorsington Stratford upon Avon, CV37 8AZ, United Kingdom

On Friday 17th July at 7pm, Oxford University organ scholar George Finney will be giving an organ recital at St Peter’s church, Dorsington. Come along to this hour-long organ recital for a lovely summer evening of music. Based on the theme of 'ripples', the programme has been inspired by the walks George has taken alongside the stream in the Dorsington Arboretum and investigates the different ways music, like water, moves and is moulded by its surroundings.

Performed on a fine digital instrument that is infrequently used, the variety of repertoire in this recital hopes to make the most of the instrument.

Programme
Johann Sebastian Bach Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV 565

Paul Hindemith Organ Sonata No.2

Sergei Rachmaninov arr. McVicker Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini: 18th Variation

Lucinda Bell Canadian Geese Suite

Rhian Samuel Rejoice! Fantasia on Victimae Paschali Laudes

St Peter & St Paul, Blockley

WELCOME!   We have a communion service every Sunday at 9:30 except for the first Sunday when the communion service is at 8:30 - this is a said service using the Book of Common Prayer (traditional language) liturgy which is followed by an all-age "Open Door" service at 9:30 with breakfast, singing, simple worship and laughter.

On the other Sundays the communion service follows the Common Worship (more up to date) liturgy with hymns led by the choir.   On the third Sunday there are Junior Church stories and activities for children during the morning service. 

 When there is a fifth Sunday in a month we join with other congregations in our benefice for a 9:30 communion service (See "What's on" to find out which church is hosting).
