Buddy Nolan Memorial Concert: Organist Richard Hills at Embassy Theatre

Every ballad that Buddy Nolan Memorial Concert: Organist Richard Hills touches turns into solid sparkling gold. The British organist and Fellow of the Royal College of Organists has several albums under his belt, including a commemorative CD recorded on the Embassy Theatre's own Grand Page Organ, each of which has earned regular streams on Spotify and local radio. He performs everything with the care it deserves. After all, each composition possesses a unique charm influenced by its intended setting. Hills exhibits his expertise and grasp of various classical music - honed through positions at Westminster Abbey, Portsmouth Cathedral, and Exeter College Oxford - by guiding all members with a blend of historical accuracy and modern flair. Named 'Organist of the Year' by the American Theatre Organ Society in 2010, Hills approaches each piece as though it were born in its original time period, whether performing elaborate instrumentals on the theatre organ or classical solo highlights.
