On the 17th October the Director of Music, David Rowland, will be launching the first solo recording of the Christ’s Chapel organ on which he gave the opening recital just before he joined the College 40 years ago. The organ retains much of the pipework of the instrument installed in 1705, so it is fitting that the recording contains music by J S Bach, composed at the beginning of the eighteenth century.
There is no need to book to attend the recital, the timings for which can be found below:
17.50 Welcome from the Master
18.00 Organ Recital of music from the recording
18.30 Evensong followed by drinks in the ante-chapel
Following Evensong there will be an opportunity to purchase the CD in the ante-Chapel. Alumni wishing to join David for dinner on High Table may exercise their dining rights by emailing mealbookings@christs.cam.ac.uk (up to a maximum of six alumni).
