Choir & Organ - December 2022

In the December issue of Choir & Organ, Matthew Power introduces our 2023 New Music partners – King’s College London – whose top quality choir, organ scholar and director of music combine with a flourishing concert and recording programme that includes a productive contract with Delphian Records.

Plus, William Hill’s first organ in Australia is restored; forty years after Joshua Rifkin’s groundbreaking recording of the Mass in B minor with one voice per part, conductors share their views on how to perform Bach; Trinity Church Wall Street, New York City’s mother church of Anglicanism, is in receipt of a new large organ built by a partnership between Glatter-Götz Orgelbau and Manuel Rosales; David Hill interviews Accentus choir founder Laurence Equilbey; Henry Fairs concludes his series on organs in the German capital by looking at recent instruments and a new project by Orgelmakerij Reil; concert organist and pedagogue Diane Bish looks back over sixty years of bringing the ‘King of Instruments’ to the general public; composer Sarah Cattley; our 2023 organ and choral competitions supplement; James D. Hicks on the allure of Nordic countries; and we discover a wealth of historic buildings, art and organs in the north of Belgium.
