Notes: 

Because of ongoing restoration work in the McEwan Hall, the organ there is not available for recitals at present, and so most of the Friday concerts will be held in the Reid Concert Hall, using the Ahrend organ.  This fine instrument, build in 1978, remains Jürgen Ahrend's only organ in the UK, and has always aroused much interest among musicians. 
A number of lunchtime concerts this semester will be held in the elegant and historic St Cecilia's Hall, home of one of the world's top collections of early keyboard instruments.  We hope that our audiences will enjoy supporting out concerts at both venues
