Early English Organ Project
Where to hear them
From April 2007 to September 2008 the Tudor organs were housed at Durham Cathedral, where they featured prominently in the liturgy (including a live Radio 3 broadcast on 4 May 2008) and in concerts.
Since the middle of September the organs have been housed at St Paul’s Cathedral, and Tom Winpenny writes here about what the residency has in store:
"The Early English Organ Project will be resident in St Paul’s Cathedral between September and December 2008.
"The larger Wetheringsett organ will be located in the Quire, and the smaller Wingfield organ in the Crypt. The Wetheringsett organ will be featured most Saturdays during Evensong, and both instruments will be the focus of regular music workshops in conjunction with the Cathedral's Education Department.
"The centrepiece of their residency will be the sixth annual London Organ Forum, a study day entitled ‘The Mulliner Book and the birth of English organ music’. Presentations will be given by Patrick Russill, Jane Flynn and Andrew Carwood. For further information about tickets, please visit www.londonorganforum.com. The day will conclude with a free recital at 16.30 featuring the Wetheringsett organ and the Grand Organ, preceding Evensong at 17.00 sung by the Cathedral Choir, and featuring the Wetheringsett organ."
