The concert will be a mix of both humorous and reflective music, with the organ at the heart of it all.

Pieces set to appear in the concert include Bach's famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, before another Toccata in a set of French pieces renowned to organists.

The concert will then journey through well-known organ solos and orchestral legends, which have been arranged for an organ duet.

Mr Pavey, one of the resident organists, explained how the flexibility of the instrument and its myriad possible sound combinations make it a prized asset for the church.

He said: "The organ continues to capture the imagination of those who play it and listen to it and, even now, we continue to find new and exciting combinations of sound which we look forward to demonstrating at the occasion."

The concert will also feature an arrangement from the 'Interstellar' soundtrack, by Hans Zimmer, and music from Malvern's very own Sir Edward Elgar, who lived in the parish during the 1890s.

Mr Pavey added: "The concert is being staged as an event for International Organ Day and, as well as being what we hope will be an inspiring afternoon of music, is an encouragement for people to come and hear what the organ is really capable of doing."

Tickets are priced at £10 (free for those 18 and under), and include light refreshments during the interval.

They can be purchased online (www.holytrinitymalvern.org.uk), by phoning 01684 893590, or on the door on the day of the performance.

Proceeds will be donated to Christian Aid and the church.
