Organ recital by Daniel Cook of Durham Cathedral on the Father Willis organ at Lincoln Cathedral, as the final evening of the Grand Organ Festival.
Daniel Cook is at Lincoln Cathedral on Tuesday 27 October, the final evening of the Grand Organ Festival. He's the Organist and Master of the Choristers at Durham Cathedral, and he'll be playing the celebrated Father Willis organ that's the centrepiece of the whole series. The programme brings together J.S. Bach, Whitlock and Ruebke, so it's a bit of a range in one night.
If you've been following the festival, this is the one that wraps it all up. It's the sixth and final evening of a run that's seen Jeffrey Makinson, James Gough, Philip Rushforth and David Pipe take turns at the console, alongside an Organ Extravaganza played by the cathedral's own organists and choir. Cook's recital is the last one of the lot, so it's the final chance to catch the festival before it closes.
One thing that's worth knowing about how these work: you're not just listening from the nave. There are live video screens that let you watch from the organ loft, so you can see Cook at work while you hear it. And after the performance, you can meet the organists, which is a nice touch if you've got questions about the instrument or the programme.
