Elder Conservatorium: Sacred and Secular

17 April @ 1:10 pm - 2:10 pm AEST

In this special solo organ recital, Joshua van Konkelenberg (a lecturer at the Elder Conservatorium, and one of its most outstanding graduates) performs four works that showcase the majesty and grandeur of our resident instrument. J.S. Bach’s Fantasy and Fugue in C minor, BWV 546 stands as a monumental work of architectural clarity and expressive depth, pairing sweeping rhetorical gestures with rigorous contrapuntal mastery. Selections from Couperin offers contrasting intimacy, before a new addition to the organ repertoire by the soloist himself reveals new timbral possibilities. The program culminates in Liszt’s Fantasy and Fugue on ‘Ad nos, ad salutarem undam’ – a virtuosic tour de force that transforms a simple chorale into a work of symphonic scale and dramatic intensity.
