David and Andrew began devising duet programmes during their time as colleagues at Exeter Cathedral. The combination of organ and piano, though unusual, provides plenty of musical scope, mixing the percussive element of the piano with the colour and sustaining quality of the organ. The fine organ at St Peter’s
together with the Festival’s Steinway D Grand should provide a sparkling soundscape.

This concert will finish at c. 6.15pm and runs without an interval.
