Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances this recital has been postponed, but will hopefully take place later in the year - check back for details.
Professor Ian Tracey is one of Britain's best known and most widely respected musicians, having been organist at the monumental Anglican Cathedral in his home town of Liverpool for over 30 years. His performances there on the famous 'Willis' organ - the largest in the UK - have thrilled the instrument's thousands of fans around the world and met with praise from the critics. He holds several other official positions and combines them with a busy freelance career as a recitalist and conductor.

Unfortunately, due to the deteriorating condition of the console electrical components, the assistant organist has decided to cancel the summer lunchtime recital series, as it is felt that the instrument is not in a suitable condition for regular recitals. Until funds can be raised to overhaul the under-actions and console, it is likely the organ will be unable to fulfil its role as a recital instrument.
