Bach adagio & fugue in C BWV 564 - last concert on organ to be scrapped

Can you find this redundant organ a home? This is the last concert on this instrument by Mark Cyphus before possible organicide on account of closure of the church in central London.

This wonderful 4 manual organ is not a Baroque instrument but performs Bach impressively.

Links to further details about this organ otherwise to be scrapped are on the "more info" of the "Plea for Organs" video http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MW1oOTiFoOk


Wouldn't it be wonderful if the dance school could incorporate organ music into dance? But modern people don't appreciate the organ. That's why the Hammerwood Park concerts focus on organ music http://www.hammerwood.mistral.co.uk/concerts.htm but we don't have the space for an instrument like this so have to make do with an alternative, although an exceptional one. Why can't new users of buildings like this just incorporate an instrument like this into their plans and cherish it?

Hi David,

This organ is one of many 1st-class organs built by J.W. Walker and it sounds well taken care of. Society is run by monsters not only in the UK, but here in the US, too.

I guess the only thing you can do is let as many people as possible, especially organbuilders, know of this situation. If this organ absolutely cannot be relocated as a whole, it could, at least, be parted out by division. Not the best way to go, but at least it will continue to exist and function in some form.
