Andrew Benson-Wilson plays William Byrd (d 6 July 1623)

As part of the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd (“Father of British Music”), Andrew Benson-Wilson will give two commemoration organ recitals. The first is in the delightful venue of The Chapel of Christ of Alleyn’s College of God’s Gift in Dulwich Village on Sunday 9 July 2023 at 7.45. It will feature a range of Byrd’s own keyboard music and will finish with the elaborate Salve Regina Misere Cordi by John Bull, probably composed when he was organist of Antwerp Cathedral. The Dulwich recital is played on the 2009 William Drake restoration of the 1750 George England organ. Organ details can be found here.
