Concert series and service marks 40 years since the death of Maurice Duruflé
This year marks 40 years since the death of one of the most beloved composers of the French Organ Tradition, Maurice Durufle. To mark the anniversary, our incredible team of musicians will be performing all of his organ works, as well as some other instrumental and vocal pieces, in a short series of free concerts and services this autumn.
Though Durufle’s body of work is relatively small, his legacy is far from it – he is known for his rich impressionistic sound and intense perfectionism, which almost certainly contributed to his limited number of works.
The series will include all of Durufle’s organ works, as well as his 'Messe cum Jubilo'.
Dates and times:
Sunday 6th September, 5.30pm: Sung Eucharist featuring Durufle’s 'Messe cum Jubilo'
Sunday 20th September 4.30pm: Organ recital with George Inscoe, Sub-Organist
Sunday 27th September, 4.30pm: Organ recital with James Orford and George Inscoe, plus instrumental players
Sunday 4th October, 4.30pm: Organ recital with James Orford, Organist
