Margaret Broad and Graham Taylor at the first organ recital of summer 2015

The first of our summer organ recitals was on 19th June, with Margaret Broad at the organ. Margaret is currently the organist at St Matthew’s Kirk in Perth; prior to that she was the organist and Director of Music here at St John’s and she has an extensive record as a church musician working in Glasgow, Southampton and Yorkshire.

She chose and delivered a varied programme of music including pieces by Rawsthorne, J S Bach, Mendelssohn and Haydn. Many of us particularly enjoyed ‘Dance with the saints’ by Colin Mawby.

Following the recital there were refreshments in the Threshold.

Our next organ recital is on 17th July at 7.30pm when Andrew Forbes will be playing.
