Thomas Heywood: 200 Years of Organ Music in Australia

  • Free
  • Music

Classical organist extraordinaire Thomas Heywood presents a concert organ spectacular celebrating the 200th anniversary of organ music in Australia.

Don’t miss this unique feature event as Thomas Heywood shares his passion and mastery of the instrument with a specially prepared program including Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Bizet, Salomé, Chopin and Rossini, plus Heywood's brand new transcriptions of epic works by Brahms, Lemare and Smetana.

Heywood has had a life-long love affair with the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ and has performed on the instrument more than any other living organist.

Heywood has since performed for huge audiences worldwide, building his immense repertoire of the finest concert organ music. His premiere CD and DVD of the new Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ broke records and became among the best-selling organ recordings of all time.

Free admission, bookings essential.
