Messiaen - The Organ Works

L’Ascension; Le banquet céleste; Monodie; Messe de la Pentecôte

Henry Fairs performs Messiaen’s complete works for organ during 2008, in a series of Sunday afternoon recitals.

The centenary of the birth of Olivier Messiaen (1908-92) is celebrated by a performance of his complete works for organ. University Organist Henry Fairs presents this deeply-felt music in a series of six Sunday afternoon recitals on the renovated organ by Hill, Norman and Beard in the University Great Hall. A rare treat, indeed.

NB: All concerts begin at 3pm in the University Great Hall.
