What An Enormous Organ You’re Playing, Thierry
July 23, 12:00 – July 24, 17:00
Hallgrímskirkja
1500 ISK
Thierry Mechler is a well-known virtuoso French organist and also a renowned
teacher who travels around the world showing off his amazing skills and giving
master classes in some of the world’s most important international academies.
We should feel very lucky because he is coming to Reykjavík to play Hallgrím-
skirkja’s huge pipe organ. On Saturday we will listen to Toccata in G-major by Bach
and Arabesque by Schumann among some of his own works as well. The next
day Thierry will delight his audience with themes by Jehan Alain, Hildegaard von
Bingen, Bach and Liszt.
At 1.500 ISK, this sounds like a fairly sweet deal, and a worthy experience for those
who desire to enjoy the terrific playing of a master organist in an unbeatable venue.
