• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Very exciting, if you're a Sydneysider and you can make it to the Great Hall of Sydney University a visiting professor (sorry can't remember his name) will be giving a lecture and recital on the Great Hall's wonderful organ ... today at 3:00 pm (Sunday June 3, 2007).

That's cool, Contratrombone64 ... Let us know how it went and what was played.

Any chance that these programs are ever recorded for broadcasting or podcasting at later dates? Those of us on the other side of this planet miss out on these wonderful opportunities that you have in your country.

Having now heard this incredible man play the wonderful Great Hall organ ... I was stunned by his playing and words can't express it. However, if you are in Sydney and can get to the Leviathan today (Monday 4th June) at 12:30 ... he's giving a recital of French Organ music (Sydney Town Hall, Grand Organ).

He is (Mr. Jacob) the Juilliard's youngest head of department ... plays the complete works of Messiaen and Bach from memory.
