Join us at Langley for a Sunday afternoon to remember!
‘The climate is salubrious’ in beautiful Bendigo, and this magnificent concert - a real Festive Fantasy with not one, but two internationally acclaimed musicians, in the wonderful atmosphere of the Lauriston Chapel at Langley, will make you find your perfect place!
Renowned flautist Masahide Kurita and concert organist Thomas Heywood join forces to take you on a captivating musical journey.
From the beauty of Franz Schubert’s lyricism to the immortal delights of Gabriel Fauré, with a virtuosically incredible Hungarian Fantasy - together with three dazzling organ pieces from Fauré’s Parisian colleagues - this glorious afternoon will be an unforgettable experience.
After winning first prize in the prestigious All-Japan Student Music Competition in Tokyo in 1992, Masahide Kurita’s studies took him from Tokyo National University to the Royal Academy of Music in London. Kuri subsequently studied with the legendary Sir James Galway, who became his mentor. Kuri is renowned for his highly polished technique, rich tone, and depth and clarity of musical expression.
Thomas Heywood is ‘without argument one of the world’s best concert organists’. Thomas has travelled over 1.2 million kilometres performing solo concerts on the most celebrated pipe organs across the globe, touring in venues from Windsor Castle to the largest pipe organ in New York City. Heywood has performed Mozart in Vienna, Tchaikovsky in Moscow, Handel in London and Beethoven in Bonn to both critical and public acclaim.
Do join us on this amazingly appropriate date for this musical feast! The 22nd of November is Saint Cecilia’s Day - the Patron Saint of Music!
After the concert, you can enjoy meeting the performers and other audience members during the refreshments served in the Langley Hall mansion.
