SUMMARY:St Fin Barre's Cathedral Celebrity Organ Recital featuring the renowned Naji Hakim
DESCRIPTION:As part of St FIn Barre's Festival which this year celebrates the 1400th anniversary of the death of the Patron Saint of Cork\, St Fin Barre's Cathedral is delighted to host the renowned composer and organist Naji Hakim. Hakim was born in Beirut but he studied the organ in France with Jean Langlais. He was the organist of the Basilique du Sacr -Coeur\, Paris from 1985 until 1993\, before becoming organist of l' glise de la Trinit  (1993-2008)\, in succession to Olivier Messiaen.\n\n\n\nThis year the organ of St Fin Barre's Cathedral will be ten years old\, or more correctly it is ten years since the Irish organ builder Trevor Crowe gave the existing organ a full rebuild and added significantly to its makeup. To mark that birthday there will be a celebrity recital on 23rd September at 7.30pm.\n\nWith over 4\,500 pipes (including the 3\,012 originals) the cathedral organ is one of the largest in Ireland. The celebrity recital will include works by Bach\, Franck\, Langlais and by Hakim himself\, and it will end with an improvisation\, for which the great French organists are so famous. Refreshments will be available during the interval\, including a birthday cake!
