Lyon at Stonehaven Exhibition Opening
The Lord Lyon attended the launch of a new exhibition in St James Church, Stonehaven called “Priests and Pipes”. The exhibition celebrates three centuries of the use of the organ in church music.
Of particular interest was the work of North East organ builders John Wardle who over 58 years built some 168 organs. A specially commissioned piece by a young Stonehaven composer Benjamin McMillan called Wardle’s Calling was played by the composer.
