Huddersfield Town Hall 13.00

Frederick Swann has been organist of some of the largest churches in America, including the Crystal Cathedral in California.  The famous Father Willis Tuba will be in evidence in his Trumpet Tune.  César Franck wrote his three chorals right at the end of his life; the third is by far the most popular and is one of the most frequently requested pieces at Huddersfield Town Hall.

Testimonial
“Gordon Stewart is a marvellously engaging performer. He almost literally runs onto the stage, and before he plays a note transmits a sense of energy, fun and anticipation. This touch of showbiz and the scattering about of funny stories prepares you to fully enjoy yourself. Gordon’s ‘show’ is very visual, but nothing of this style of delivery detracts from the seriously good musicianship of his performance. On the contrary, it energises and places in the mainstream an instrument which, certainly in the eyes of the young and the unchurched, can seem stuffy and dull……Gordon Stewart is a vibrant and accomplished player, at one with his instrument and his audience, whom he delighted from beginning to end.” Organ Australia
