The Orgelbüchlein Project grows and grows.

Two more recitals to go in PHASE II, the Cambridge phase.

Exciting news: Giles Swayne will write a piece for the concert on May 7th. He has chosen Auf meinen lieben Gott.

The collaboration with organist Tom Bell means that the Project now has four pairs of hands not just two. Future phases are planned for Manchester (with Chris Stokes), Glasgow (with Kevin Bowyer), Wimbledon (with Ronny Krippner), Toulouse (with Jan Willem Jansen) and York (with John Scott Whiteley). Educational wing will be launched soon, to inspire young composers with the melodies that Bach left behind.

Jeremy Thurlow's piece freely available in a Dropbox-- please see Facebook Page. Also Gregory Drott's excellent performance. More details soon on Cecilia MacDowall's piece, premiered by Ian Tindale at Selwyn College.

Please come to Simon Bland's Concert in Cambridge, March 13th, 5.30pm, in Trinity College Chapel, featuring the world-beating Metzler organ.
