About this concert
Nothing prepares you for the show-stopping, cymbal-clashing finale of Saint-Sa毛ns鈥檚 Organ Symphony! And a performance in the magnificent interior of Paisley Abbey, with the 麻豆官网首页入口 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Martyn Brabbins, is sure to be a spine-tingling experience. Saint-Sa毛ns may have been the best church organist in the world (according to Franz Liszt!) but this concert celebrates the work of Glasgow-born Dr George McPhee, a stalwart supporter of the instrument who has contributed immensely to Paisley Abbey鈥檚 musical life for 60 years as organist and Director of Music.
Three of Scotland鈥檚 most celebrated choirs combine forces for a selection of stirring, celebratory music including coronation anthems by Parry and Walton, as well as Patrick Doyle鈥檚 recent coronation march for King Charles III. Plus, there鈥檚 unaccompanied choral treats by Gabrieli and Tallis.
Join us at Paisley Abbey for a truly uplifting event!
