Doncaster Event: Toccata Tuesdays
| Event: | Toccata Tuesdays | NOTE: This Event on This Date has finished.| Details: | TICK- TOCCATA TUESDAYS IN YOUR DIARY!
Doncaster Choral Society Conductor and leading organist Dr Simon Lindley presents four organ concerts in and around Doncaster on Tuesday evenings in August.
Each recital commences at 7.30 pm and lasts for an hour after which refreshments will be served.
Admission is free, however there are retiring collections at each concert in support of Doncaster Choral Society to help them continue their presentation of high quality concerts in Doncaster with professional orchestra and soloists.
The music at each recital is a fascinating blend of ancient and modern, featuring particularly well-known and popular pieces contrasting with standard organ repertoire and works of greater historic significance.
The Churches to be visited this Summer are:
THORNE ST. NICHOLAS Tuesday 5 August
FINNINGLEY ST. OSWALD Tuesday 12 August
WHEATLEY ST. MARY Tuesday 19 August
BALBY ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST Tuesday 26 August
Doncaster Choral Society is immensely indebted to the incumbents and church authorities at each venue for the warmth of their welcome.
Dr Lindley, one of Britain’s most popular concert organists, has given similar recitals on TOCCATA TUESDAYS over the last three summers and has visited some of the finest churches in and around Doncaster and raised over £6,000 for Doncaster Choral Society funds.
Dr Lindley says:
I am really thrilled, once again, to be able to give a further series of concerts in support of the great work undertaken each season by the enthusiastic and committed members of Doncaster Choral Society. The Doncaster Choir is one of the jewels in Yorkshire’s musical crown and it is a real pleasure, as well as a privilege, to be able to work with these wonderful singers on a regular basis in rehearsal and concert. The Society deserves all the support that can be mustered to assist it in its laudable endeavours.
