Saint-Saëns’s Organ Symphony
The BBC SSO and three of Scotland's most celebrated choirs combine forces for a selection of stirring, celebratory music at Paisley Abbey on Friday 10th November!
About Saint-Saëns’s Organ Symphony
Nothing prepares you for the show-stopping, cymbal-clashing finale of Saint-Saëns’s Organ Symphony! And a performance in the magnificent interior of Paisley Abbey, with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Martyn Brabbins, is sure to be a spine-tingling experience. Saint-Saëns 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’s musical life for 60 years as organist and Director of Music.
Three of Scotland’s most celebrated choirs combine forces for a selection of stirring, celebratory music including coronation anthems by Parry and Walton, as well as Patrick Doyle’s recent coronation march for King Charles III. Plus, there’s unaccompanied choral treats by Gabrieli and Tallis.
