Join Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside Organist Association in their celebrity concerts on our magnificent Binns Organ at Rochdale Town Hall.
This month features the marvelous Gordon Stewart. Gordon is one of the UK’s most popular and adaptable organists; he has played Celebrity Concerts in such places as St Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral, the Laurenskerk, Alkmaar and at Symphony Hall in Birmingham, Leeds Town Hall, Melbourne Town Hall, Pietermaritzburg City Hall and Johannesburg Cathedral.
He was for 30 years Borough Organist of Kirklees, playing concerts on the famous Father Willis organ, and building up a large and enthusiastic following. In recognition of this he has been given the title Organist Emeritus. Gordon has played concerts throughout Europe and in South Africa, the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
The Royal College of Organists, The Royal School of Church Music and the Guild of Church Musicians have all awarded him Honorary Fellowships, and the University of Huddersfield awarded him an Honorary Doctorate. He was awarded the British Empire Medal in the King's first Birthday Honours.
