Summer Sounds: Eben Eyres (Cambridge, UK)

Summer Sounds: Eben Eyres (Cambridge, UK)
In partnership with the Northern Ireland International Organ Competition, we present this recital from one of their prizewinners. Eben Eyres is the Peter Walker Organ Scholar at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, regularly accompanying the choir in services and concerts. He was awarded 3rd prize at NIIOC 2024, and in the same year he also won Cambridge University's Brian Runnett Organ Prize. Exploiting the full symphonic palette of the cathedral's famous organ, Eben will perform the epic, virtuosic Fantasia and Fugue on Ad Nos, Ad Salutarem Undam by Franz Liszt—one of the most ferocious and engaging pieces in the repertoire. And you can hear a different side of the organ, built in 1879 by Henry 'Father' Willis, during two more lyrical pieces from Vierne's 24 Pieces in Free Style: the Berceuse and Pastorale. Doors open 6:30pm and the performance will last around 1 hour. We suggest a £10 donation; all proceeds go to the cathedral's organ fund, helping us promote and protect this huge instrument which is one of the largest in Scotland.
