Over the course of the three concerts, the complete Orgelbüchlein of Bach will be heard, in the order Bach wrote it, plus twelve contributions to the Orgelbüchlein Project, plus selected songs and chorales, sung by tenor John Mark Ainsley. The concert is generously supported by the Friends of St Giles, the Austrian Cultural Forum and the Edinburgh Society of Organists. We are proud to celebrate the Austrian dimension of this concert: an Austrian organ by Rieger Orgelbau, played by one of Austria’s leading organists, and including four Austrian contributions to the Orgelbüchlein Project.
