Oh.....I will sit on the wall outside so!!!

Is this actually on today? It seems to be being kept a closely-guarded secret: it wasn't in "The Irish Times" listings last Friday ("The Ticket") and this thread is the only reference I can find on the internet!Diapason wrote:If you think you could stomach it at all, I'd strongly and heartily recommend Olivier Latry in the opening recital. He's one of the top of the top, and a very exciting player. One thing I'd say is that organ concerts tend to be a lot more involving than organ recordings.

The publicity has been virtually non-existent from what I can tell. There's a smallish poster in front of the church, and that's about it.Ciaran wrote:Is this actually on today?

Anyway, Siobhán Kilkelly is giving today's recital, and having popped in to hear a few bits and help with checking balances yesterday, it promises to be a very enjoyable recital. The music is mainly French or French-inspired and from memory the programme includes Lemmens, Elgar, Franck, Lefebure-Wely, Vierne and Alain. I'm hoping to make it myself, work permitting.
I'm up next week, and will need to do a lot of work between this and then!!!

I'll do my best to get to you! I was about to book for a lunchtime concert in the NCH next Tuesday when I remembered! Have I missed Latry?
Re: Organ recitals in May, including... ME!
Ah, confusion reigns! Latry is playing in the series Jared posted about:

Ah, that explains it! I couldn't believe you would have somehow enticed him to Monkstown and then given him zero publicity!
