Kevin Bowyer

The organ music of Philip Glass presents some of his most significant and extended minimalist works. Dance 2 and Dance 4 are the two solo organ movements of a five-part work composed in the early 1970s. The arrangement of the Act III Finale to his opera Satyagraha dates from 1980 and is one of the most famous and familiar pieces in all Glass. The sheer accuracy and concentration of Kevin Bowyer's performances guarantee that this music is heard to its best effect on the splendid 1995 Marcussen organ at Tonbridge School.

Alan Gibbs was born in 1932 and went on to study in Durham with organ lessons from Conrad Eden. After National Service he held posts in London and has written articles about Holst and related subjects. Kevin Bowyer recorded a CD of his music at Tonbridge School in 1999 and now the same performer, his skills undiminished directs ‘his formidable prowess as an interpreter of contemporary music’ to his fine Willis III organ in Glasgow to present the major output of Gibbs organ music.
