WORDSWORTH & MASKELL PIPE ORGAN RECITAL Sunday, 5 Septem­ber 2021 at 3pm Keep and broad­cast the date! Well-known to Sydney audi­ences, St Luke’s is delighted to wel­come Heath­er Moen-Boyd to per­form an inaug­ur­al recit­al on the Church’s unique 1883 Wordsworth & Maskell Pipe Organ. From Moz­art to Mendels­sohn, whose works were per­formed at the instrument’s 1884 recit­al, the per­form­ance will also include Samuel Barber’s Adagio to mark Yom Kip­pur and Septem­ber 11, and pas­tor­al bird­song to her­ald the com­ing Spring. The her­it­age-lis­ted organ, con­sidered power­ful for its size, is a unique example of its kind in Aus­tralia.  This is its inaug­ur­al recit­al, delayed by more than a year due to the pan­dem­ic, fol­low­ing the com­plete res­tor­a­tion of the instru­ment to its ori­gin­al high Vic­tori­an glory. RSVP:  to Kathy Drum­mond or Brett Dav­ies and watch this space for arrange­ments due to the Cov­id-19 pandemic. Entry:  $15 ($10 all con­ces­sions), includ­ing pro­gramme note.
