Programme Note
Willan composed these pieces for this organ. During his tenure at St. Mary Magdalene, he had the console moved into the choir loft, as well as adding a Tuba to the existing 27 ranks. Although the organ has since been enlarged to 51 stops, Andrew Adair as the resident organist is highly sympathetic to Willan’s style. Hear these preludes in a performance very much in the spirit of the composer.
This recital is part of Organ Festival Canada Hamilton. Canada's premier organ festival features Canadian and international performers presenting a range of recitals and workshops. This year's online Festival also includes the National Organ Playing Competition finals. Attendees will receive a unique link via email, allowing access to the event until 30 September 2021.
