As the Baltic States celebrate 100 years of independence, Choir & Organ explores how music became crucial in their sense of identity; a journey through the organ catalogue of British composer Francis Pott unearths a treasure chest of repertoire; and Scottish-American composer Thea Musgrave at 90.
Plus, the beauty of Paris’s Sorbonne Chapel is marred by a seriously damaged Dallery organ that is crying out to be restored; Andrew Nethsingha assesses the impact of Vaughan Williams’s experiences in the first world war on his music; a new Harrison & Harrison organ brings fresh vigour to the musical life of St Andrew’s Church in Bedford; how Blackbird Leys Estate transformed its troubled image with the birth of a community choir; building a house organ; and music for a summer’s eve.
