Maurice Duruflé: Suite for organ, Op.5

International virtuoso Jennifer Bate returns to Royal Festival Hall to launch International Organ Recitals. Southbank Centre's new celebrity organ recital series and part of Pull Out All The Stops: International Organ Series 2014/15.

Her programme includes some of the cornerstones of the organ repertory - Bach's majestic Prelude and Fugue in B Minor contrasts with the struggle between melodic and rhythmic elements of Franck's Third Chorale. The programme is rounded off with Duruflé's stirring Suite Op.5, with its elegant Sicilienne and dazzling Toccata.

Royal Festival Hall at 6.15pm - pre-concert talk. Southbank Centre organ curator, William McVicker, interviews Jennifer Bate about her busy concert career. Free
