We are reliably informed that all four of these manuals of the magnificent Hill organ at St John’s, Buxton, will be used in our performance of Saint Saëns Organ Symphony THIS SUNDAY.

Not to be missed!

Score of Lili Boulanger's Psalm 130

Du font de l'abîme - 'From the depths of the abyss I cry to you'
Written by a 24-year-old Lili Boulanger reacting to the First World War going on around her, this work has worrying echoes of our current world.
Hear this remarkable work performed in Buxton.

Du Font de l'Abîme

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely

On Sunday 6 April, for the first time in its 80 year history, @BuxtonMusSoc will perform a work by a female composer.
But what a composer! And what a work!
If you have never heard Lili Boulanger's 'Au font de l'abîme', you need to.
If you have, I'm sure that you will be coming to listen again.
