Paul Ayres, Organist and Composer, in recital
The Simple Gifts Concert Series of the Glenview Community Church presents British organist and composer Paul Ayres on Sunday, May 3 at 3:00pm. Come at 2:45 for Paul’s pre-concert talk. His compositions usually involve words – solo songs, choral pieces, music for theatre productions – and he is particularly interested in working with pre-existing music, from arrangements of folksongs, hymns, jazz standards and nursery rhymes to ‘re-compositions’ of classical works, as in Purcell’s Funeral Sentence, 4A Wreck and Messyah. A free will offering will be taken.
The building is handicap accessible and has onsite parking. It is 3 blocks west of the Glenview Metra North train station. Visit www.gccmusic.org or call 847 724 2210 for further details.
