It includes Andrew's own arrangement on the Overture from Die Fledermaus by J Strauss, plus arrangements of works by Bach, Verdi, Holst and others.
Some of these, including excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, Holst’s Planets Suite and Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals, will be included in the bank holiday recital.
As well as being the Priory organist, Andrew was the director of music at Worcester Royal Grammar School and conductor of Pershore Choral Society.
Admission to the recital is free, but there will be a retiring collection.
