Saturday Brunch: Martin Schmeding

International Organ Recital:

Martin Schmeding (Leipzig)

Professor of Organ at the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University for Music & Theatre in Leipzig, Martin Schmeding is one of the most sought-after concert organists in Europe.  He presents a programme with a symphonic sweep, including the "Great" Fantasia & Fugue in G minor by JS Bach and one of Max Reger's last works - composed on a vast dynamic plane (from pppp to ffff)! 

This latest organ prom is a special opportunity to step into the tranquility of the Temple at the weekend and experience the church's 'Rolls-Royce' of an organ in the hands of a celebrated international recitalist.
