Performers
| Olivier Latry | Organ |
Also playing extracts from The Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saëns, who was a celebrated organist in his own right, Latry displays the full potential of this magnificent instrument.
Built by Harrison & Harrison in the early 1950s, the organ was refurbished in 2007. Unleashing its visceral power and range of sound, Latry’s programme offers something for everybody, whether established organ fans or newbies.
