Happy listening to Bach played on the organ
On Thursday 17th August, Jacob Collins played all four of his instruments (Violin, Piano, Viola and Organ) at SMSG for an enjoyable and welcome lunchtime concert.
He played quite a variety of pieces ranging from Bach's Toccata & Fugue to The Entertainer by Scot Joplin. The wonderful music was captivating, beautiful, exciting, peaceful, majestic, elegant, and enjoyable.
The programme was as follows:
-

- Bach - Cello concerto – movements 1, 4, and 6 (played on Viola)
- Chopin - Prelude no. 15 (also known as ‘Raindrop’ prelude) (Piano)
- Dvorak - Humoresque no. 7 (Piano)
- Eric Satie - Griossienes (Piano)

- Sir Peter Maxwell-Davies - Song to Strangeness (Piano)
- Scot Joplin - The Entertainer (Piano)

Thanks to the volunteers who served the delicious refreshments and to Jacob for playing for us. Overall we raised £115.93 for the organ maintenance fund so thanks to the audience’s generosity and support.
