The Little Organ Book - Calvin Bowman (organ)
Date
Monday 11th January, 6.30PM
Venue
St Paul's, Bakery Hill
Duration
90 minutes
J. S. Bach’s Orgelbüchlein — or “Little Organ Book” — contains just 46 short chorale preludes, yet within these tiny works Bach explores an extraordinary world of colour, invention and emotion.
From the anticipation of Advent and the joy of Christmas, through the darkness of the Passion and the triumph of Easter, to music of prayer, hope and mortality, each miniature reveals a different facet of Bach’s genius.
At St Paul’s historic 1864 J. W. Walker organ, renowned Australian organist Calvin Bowman brings this remarkable collection to life. A three-time performer of Bach’s complete organ works, Bowman has a particularly deep connection with this music.
An intimate, profound and ultimately unforgettable journey through one of Bach’s greatest collections.
