Organ Recital – 24 June 2022 | James Flores | Wesley Uniting Church (ACT), Australia

I’m absolutely delighted to be able to share with you this live organ recital at Wesley Uniting Church, Canberra (Australia). I was invited to play by Trevor Bunning, RSCM Deputy Chair, who organises the monthly organ recitals in the region. I expressed my interest in playing for the series at any one of the magnificent organs in the Canberra-Goulburn area, but I wasn’t scheduled to play until early 2023. Unfortunately the organist scheduled for this recital fell ill with covid so I agreed to play in his place. The Wesley Uniting Church and Music Centre is a busy and thriving place for all things music. I encourage you to check their website regularly (and get on their mailing list) to stay up to date with all their events.
