Organ Recital @ Brisbane City Hall, Brisbane (29 October 2024)

If you've ever had the opportunity to see an organ recital at Brisbane City Hall, you know how incredible the sound is.

It's been a while since I've been to a City Hall organ recital and for quite a time there weren't any of these events on while renovations were underway. I kept checking back every so often, but there was sadly nothing on for years.

Excited would be an understatement when describing how I felt to see that this Tuesday 29th October 2024 at 12pm, theatre organist, composer, and silent film accompanist David Bailey will perform a series of songs as part of Organ Sounds That Go Bump In The Night.
