October 2, 20:00 – Masterpieces of Three Centuries. An antique organ in an Anglican cathedral by candlelight
St. Andrew's Anglican Church
Moscow, Voznesensky Lane, 8/5, building 1
We invite you on a grand musical journey through the centuries and continents — from the Baroque era to the Romantics of the 19th century. The organ will appear not only as a guardian of classical traditions but also as a universal instrument capable of responding sensitively to any musical language while remaining true to its majestic nature.
