Horbury Snetzler now at Halifax Minster

The 1770 Snetzler organ (a close up of which is pictured on this website’s home page and banner) is now installed in the Houldsworth Chapel at Halifax Minster. The organ is in remarkably good condition after being moved from St Peter’s Convent, Horbury by Rodney Briscoe. Professor David Baker’s lunchtime recital on 8 January 2015 at 1.00pm will feature the instrument in a range of music from Sweelinck to Douglas Bell. More details shortly.

Mentioned in Dispatches

Good to read about the Halifax Organ Academy in the latest issue of the Institute of British Organ Building Newsletter (issue 74, June 2o14) about the ‘growing number of organ academies which are being established around the country, with the aim of providing teaching and experience of the instrument for anybody who is interested’. Thus writes Chris Batchelor, current President of the IBO and an accomplished layer and senior administrator himself. ‘The emergence of more people who are passionate about the organ has to be good for all of us’, he continues.
