Organ recital by Krystian Kaniecki, St Francis of Assisi Church, Colchester Road, Halstead

At the end of August, EOA student member Krystian Kaniecki gave an organ recital at St Francis of Assisi RC Church in Halstead. Krystian is supported by the EOA’s Christopher Kingsley Memorial Fund (CKMF) which pays for Krystian to have organ lessons. There was a large audience present to hear Krystian give a very assured and enjoyable performance. Krystian very kindly donated half of the retiring collection to the CKMF, for which the EOA is very grateful.

Krystian’s programme was as follows:
Toccata and Fugue in d Minor BWV 565 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750)
Priѐre a Notre-Dame from ‘Suite Gothique’ Léon Boëllmann (1862 – 1897)
Polonez from ‘Pan Tadeusz’ Wojciech Kilar (1932 – 2013)
Organ Sonata 6 in d Minor Felix Mendelssohn (1809 – 1847)
Prelude on the Hymn Tune ‘Rhosymedre’ Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958)
Sortie in Eb Major Louis James Alfred Lefébure-Wély (1817 – 1869)

Well done Krystian!
