Organ recitals success, August 2018

The Summer Lunch-time Organ Concerts were a great success again this year with larger audiences than ever – 100+ at each concert – made up, for the most part, of people who wouldn’t normally come to Holy Trinity, so it was good to welcome them all. As always, we had some very fine playing which showed off the refurbished organ to great effect and our guest recitalists are always thrilled to be playing to such large audiences – we now have larger organ recital audiences than any of our local Cathedrals – Bangor, St Asaph and Chester.

This year the series took on an international flavour when we welcomed Alessandro Bianchi from Italy who was charming and played to our largest audience of over 130.

Admission to the Concerts was free but the enthusiastic audiences donated generously and, after expenses, this year’s four concerts added £1,289 to the Organ Maintenance Fund.
