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

Admission is by voluntary donation, which will directly support a newly formed local choir, Persevare, that hopes to improve access to choral singing for young adults. Tickets are available now, either via the link below or the QR code on the poster in the attached file.

St Lawrence, Bourton-on-the-Hill

NEED A COOL SPACE? THE CHURCH IS OPEN DURING THE DAY  - DO CALL IN IF YOU NEED SOMEWHERE TO TAKE A BREAK AND REST!   WALKERS ARE WELCOME - DRINKS AND A TOILET ARE AVAILABLE.                              

Welcome to St Lawrence, Bourton-on-the-Hill. We are a small, friendly congregation who worship in a historic church overlooking the Evenlode Valley in the North Cotswolds. We have a service at 11:15 every Sunday except the first Sunday of the month when we have a service of evening prayer with hymns at 6pm. When there is a fifth Sunday in a month we join with other congregations in our benefice for a 9:30 communion service (See "Services and Events" to find out which church is hosting).  

There is also an all-age "Open Door" service on the first Sunday of the month and Holy Communion with Junior Church stories and activities for children on the third Sunday of the month. Both of these take place at Blockley Church and start at 9:30am.

 Our church is Norman with later changes. It is open during daylight hours and visitors are most welcome. It's a peaceful place. We are part of the Quiet Garden Network and we have been given a silver EcoChurch award by A Rocha for our approach to caring for all God's creation.

There is parking in the back lane off the A44 behind the church or in the old school carpark when that building is not being used for community functions. A notice on the wall in the car park lists when these are taking place. The car park is available for church use on Sundays. 

All are welcome to come along to any service - you don't need to have any experience of church or know what to do! We look forward to welcoming you!

Jesus said " Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest".   Matthew ch.11 v.28
