Katherine Dienes-Williams Organ Recital

*This event is now off sale. Limited tickets will be available at the venue from 30 minutes prior to the start of the performance. Cash and card payments accepted.*

From the swinging razzamataz of Broadway to the lilting folksongs of the Hebrides, Katherine Dienes-Williams offers something for everyone in this lunchtime concert. Suitable for all ages, her programme includes Iain Farrington’s hilariously honky Penguins, the glamour of 1930s Hollywood showgirls in a pair of toe-tapping numbers by Michael Thomson and wistful, meditative Scottish airs by Sir James MacMillan, Kenneth Leighton and George McPhee.

The first female Director of Music appointed to a UK cathedral, Katherine Dienes-Williams is based at Guildford Cathedral; she is also Chair of the Royal College of Organists, and performs concerts across the world. This is her first recital in Glasgow, where our 1879 pipe organ (one of the largest in Scotland) offers a fabulous range of colours and contrasts—an ideal instrument to bring such a dynamic programme to life in this spirited and vibrant concert!
