Wednesday 5 June at 7:30pm - St Gregory the Great Parish Church, Dawlish Organ recital finale to Dawlish Arts Festival to be given by Professor Ian Tracey One of Britain’s best known and widely respected organists, Professor Ian Tracey from Liverpool Cathedral, will be giving an organ recital on the highly regarded Willis organ as a finale to the Dawlish Arts Festival. Professor Tracey has been organist at the famous Anglican Liverpool Cathedral for over 30 years, and has given recitals across the world receiving much acclaim for his virtuoso performances.  This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to hear a very talented professional musician and organist perform in the South West, and the organisers of the Dawlish Arts Festival are very proud to have made this possible. The proceeds from this organ recital will equally support two charities - The Children’s Society, and Samara’s Aid Appeal (the relief of suffering through the provision of Humanitarian and medical aid in Syria, the Middle East and elsewhere) and the suggested donation is £10 per ticket payable on the night for this organ recital extravaganza.

Friday June 7 at 7:30pm - Music Room, Powderham Castle Andrew Millington and David Davies will be peforming solos and duets on the Brice Seede organ and piano. The link to the website and for tickets (£16) go to: http://www.musicinthecastle.co.uk

TA1 4DG 'Things Bright and Beautiful' - an Organ and Piano recital to suit everyone Adam Parrish is a versatile, talented young musician who will make his debut in Taunton, by using St John's Father Willis Organ as well as playing some piano solos.  He could just as easily use his guitar in a programme of pop music. He is a professional pianist, organist, director of music and composer who regularly tours the UK and abroad.   Whilst he is classically trained, his musical tastes and influences have led him to work with a broad range of notable musicians and composers.  These include John Rutter, Bob Chilcot, the renowned acoustic guitarist Gordon Giltrap, Nicki French (a past Eurovision Song contestant) and even Basil Brush! Adam has invited his friend Teresa De Roberto to make a guest appearance, thus bringing another aspect to this event by Teresa singing some of her favourite songs.
