An Organ Recital with Andrew Forbes
Union Chapel, N1 2UN , [Venue Details]Andrew Forbes is an innovative Scottish organist, who celebrates classic works whilst exploring new possibilities for the organ—particularly in his frequent collaborations with composers.
Appointed as Director of Music at Glasgow Cathedral aged 21, his playing creates ‘a symbiosis between artist and instrument’ (The Montrealer), earning him invitations to perform at venues including Philharmonie de Paris and St Paul’s Cathedral (London).
Andrew advocates for the organ’s place in modern society; in 2023 he was invited to join the board of Scotland’s Churches Trust, where he chairs their Music Committee, and he is a founder of Sowne of Organe, a project surveying Scotland’s most significant historic organs (www. sowneoforgane. com). Away from the console, Andrew directs the critically acclaimed Glasgow Cathedral Festival – ‘a minor miracle’ (VoxCarnyx) – with bold programming that brings life to the city’s oldest building. He teaches at Glasgow University and RCS, is a frequent guest with ensembles including the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and is in demand as a collaborative pianist, sound engineer and producer.
Andrew has learned with teachers including Dame Gillian Weir, Jan Waterfield and Hans Fagius, supported by awards from the Hope Scott Trust and the McGlashan Charitable Trust.
