About David Goodenough
Organist David Goodenough performs J S Bach's six organ trio sonatas in two concerts at Canongate Kirk on the Royal Mile, playing on the sublime Frobenius Opus 1000 organ. These sonatas are described as ebullient and unique in their difficulty and musical perfection, requiring the hands to play independent melodic lines on separate keyboards whilst the feet play the basso continuo. Each concert is 50 minutes long, priced at £10, and suitable for audiences aged 8 and over.
Why see this show?
A rare chance to hear Bach's technically demanding trio sonatas performed live on a celebrated organ in one of Edinburgh's most inspiring churches. Two concerts, each 50 minutes, make this a rewarding double visit for anyone drawn to the organ repertory.
