Monday 9 September 2019 at 6.30pm, The Chapel, George Heriot’s School: FILM NIGHT

Tonight, we will view a selection of recent DVD releases of organs and organ music. This will include clips from Fugue State Films' productions on the organs of Alkmaar, organs in Nottingham, and will end with a viewing of Graham Barber performing Reubke's Sonata on the 94th Psalm on the magnificent Schulze organ of St Bartholomew's, Armley. Refreshments will follow in the Staff Common Room, itself a place of considerable interest as it was the pupil refectory in the 17th century.
