June 15, 2013 - Patrick Wedd, organ

Concert Review
L'Oasis Musicale would like to say a huge thank you to Patrick Wedd for his wonderful organ recital last Saturday. For his large and appreciative audience, Patrick selected a repertoire featuring a wide range of styles and moods: from the dense, contrapuntal fugue-writing of JS Bach's 'Dorian' Toccata and Fugue; through the whimsical Toccatina for Flutes by Pietro Yon; to the jubilant and uplifting Carillon de Westminster by Vierne. Congratulations Patrick, and many thanks again!

Don't miss Patrick Wedd's recital 'Toccatas and Carillons' on Saturday June 15 at 4.30pm at Christ Church Cathedral. The music spans over 400 years, from Frescobaldi's Toccata per L'Elevatione first published in 1635, to Roderick Elms' Carillon Festivo, composed at the turn of the 21st century.
Patrick Wedd is one of the leading organists of his generation, and has presented cycles of the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen and Jehan Alain.
