Discover the colour, scale and astonishing versatility of the Christchurch Town Hall organ with internationally acclaimed organist James McVinnie.
Praised by Gramophone for playing that is “little short of mind blowing”, McVinnie is one of today’s most adventurous champions of the instrument, equally at home in centuries-old repertoire and the newest musical languages. This intimate recital offers a chance to hear his artistry up close as he explores the organ’s vast palette: from quiet, luminous textures to sonorities that fill the entire hall.
Following his appearance with the NZSO in Reverberate, McVinnie takes centre stage for a concert devoted to the “mother of all instruments”. Prepare to experience familiar sounds afresh and discover why a new generation of listeners is falling in love with the pipe organ.
