Philip Scriven, Concert Organist

By Gordon Cameron 28 Jan, 2016 Leave a comment

Philip Scriven is a renowned organist, described as “A superb organist with formidable technique!”. Visit his website philipscriven.com

We first met Philip at Spring Harvest in Minehead a few years ago when he visited the Cambron stand.  Some time later, his interest in Power Music was re-awakened when he read an article about another famous organist, Kevin Bowyer, who uses Power Music at Glasgow University Chapel and for recitals around the world.

Philip now uses two Power Music systems – a 27 inch touchscreen system in the chapel of Cranleigh School and a 24 inch touchscreen system for performing “on the road”.

Several years ago Shona and some other member of her church in Viewpark attended the Mission Worship conference in Eastbourne, where we were exhibiting. They came to our stand and watched Power Music being demonstrated.

As most churches do – they thought about it for quite a long time! Then in November 2013 they took the plunge and invested in a complete band setup – monitors, stands, computer and Power Music.

Kevin Bowyer – Organist Extraordinaire

By Gordon Cameron 8 Apr, 2015 Leave a comment

Kevin Bowyer, Glasgow University Chapel Organist (Scotland, UK), has performed and broadcast all over the world, and has released around ninety recordings, including all of Bach’s organ music for the Nimbus recording label. His recital repertoire is enormous and ever expanding; in an article restricted to European organ music of the twentieth century, he mentions over one hundred composers whose music he has played.

Though he sees contemporary music as his vocation, he plays organ music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods onwards, and has shown an appreciation for the qualities of historical instruments in such music.
