Organ line-up is mixed bag

A Stourbridge organist has revealed the pieces he will perform at concerts in the second half of the year.

Paul Carr stages the Sunday shows each month at Holy Trinity Church, in Wordsley High Street.

All of the concerts start at 3pm. Admission is free but a retiring collection is taken.

Previous concerts have proved a hit with residents as the view of the organ console is projected on a large screen at the front of the church, giving clear views of the performer.

The next concert, on June 3, is titled the English Organ Sonata. It will be followed on July 1 by a concert featuring organ music created by English composers.

People will get the chance to hear some of the pieces already performed during the past four years of the concerts on August 5, and composers such as Widor, JS Bach, Lanquetuit and Gigout will feature on September 2. Rossini's Overture to William Tell will be performed on October 7, and it will be organ fireworks on November 4.

The series will end on December 2 with a performance of organ music for advent and Christmas.
