2017 CIRENCESTER INTERNATIONAL ORGAN FESTIVAL 

 22ND – 29TH APRIL 2017

Some highlights:

We have an amazing opener to the 2017 festival with international virtuoso, Stephen Tharp. This is Stephen’s first (and only planned) recital in
the UK in over 10 years. Described by The Diapason as “the best organist in America” Stephen has played more than 1400 concerts across 48 tours worldwide, building one of the most well-respected international careers in the world. A once in a lifetime concert, coming to Cirencester and not to be missed.
Back by popular demand Anthony Hammond will be closing the festival with one of his exciting and innovative improvised silent movies. Full details to be released soon.

In addition to our free week-day lunchtime concerts we have two new events:

Thursday 27th April 2017 – Family Gala Concert: Peter & the Wolf:  with organ, poetry and pictures
Friday 28th April 2017 – Gala Wine Recital:  this year you can hear Heilscher’s California Wine Suite played alongside a tutored wine tasting! Perfect for wine and music lovers.
