Bite-Sized Bach: Charles Francis (organ)

JS Bach Passacaglia in C (BWV 582)

Charles is currently in his first year studying for a BMus (Hons) specialising in organ performance at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Currently 18 years old, he is enjoying increasingly frequent recital opportunities at venues across the UK. A prize-winning Associate of the Royal College of Organists, Charles has also received regular deputising roles at Rochester and Canterbury Cathedrals. As a liturgical accompanist, engagements have also taken him to St Edmundsbury, Portsmouth and St Paul’s Cathedrals and more recently to St George’s Chapel, Windsor. Charles is coming under increasing demand as a freelance organist in the Birmingham area. Charles has recently begun working towards the Royal College of Organists’ Fellowship Diploma.
