Not for nothing is it called “the King of Instruments. The grand organ is a marvel, capable of awesome sound and charming delicacy. In this programme, the Cultural Centres 8,000-pipe organ will be centre stage, played by “Australia’s foremost organist” David Drury. A double bill of Poulenc and Saint-Saëns showcases the splendour of this amazing instrument to unforgettable effect. Retaining the French flavour of the programme, former HK Phil Music Director David Atherton has added a pair of works by Paul Dukas – La Péri Fanfare, and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
David Drury, Australia’s foremost organist, will replace the advertised Simon Preston, who has withdrawn due to health problem.
