  • Cameron Carpenter, Innovative Spirit of the Twenty-First the Instruments Are Very Different but Complementary
    The Festival history The International Organ Festival “Città di Bergamo” was born at the beginning of the Nineties as a gamble among friends. Convinced of the need to bring to the town an international top circuit of concerts, especially considering the quality and variety of its organs, in 1992 the association Vecchia Bergamo organized a ‘test’ concert. Jean Guillou, one of the most famous contemporary players in the world and titular of the great organs at St. Eustache in Paris, was invited with a special mission: to introduce the improvisation on themes given by the audience in his program. As a matter of fact, this art which is considered as a fundamental pillar by all northern European organ Schools had practically disappeared from the Italian churches in the last fifty years. The clear goal was to show and consequently to measure the reactions of the public, on how much the interpreter’s capability in communicating his own unique feeling is of basic importance to create a larger popular interest around organ music, which up to that time was considered a specialists’ niche. The success was so great and enthusiastic that the year after the International Organ Festival started officially on the big Serassi organ at S.Alessandro della Croce in Pignolo: a perfect instrument, just restored, for portraying a wide range of music and, at the same time, for representing worthily the important organ builders’ tradition of our land. The guidelines and contents of the Festival were, and still are, the following: to focalize on the real actor

The choir is directed by the Director of Music, performer and musicologist David Rowland, assisted by the Organ Scholars. Organ Scholarships The College normally has two Organ Scholars who assist the Director of Music in running and directing the Chapel choir. Organ scholars may study any subject except Architecture and the College has a history of appointing individuals reading science subjects as well as arts and humanities. The organ scholars are also encouraged to play a full part in other College musical activities through the Music Society, which offers opportunities for orchestral and choral conducting, as well as the chance to perform in chamber recitals, musicals, etc. In addition to the honorarium which an Organ Scholar receives each year, the College pays for organ lessons. Both organ scholars have designated rooms in college that are equipped with pianos and practice organs.
