International concert organist, Carlo Curley, "Pavarotti of the Organ" will be playing the new Auckland Town Hall Klais organ on Saturday, 4th September at 7 pm.  This is an event not to be missed.  Tickets are on sale now with reserved seating and can be purchased on line here .http://www.the-edge.co.nz/carlocurley.aspx

When a musician announces that 'Bach invented Rock and Roll', that a particular composition by Handel is a 'real toe-tapper' and that during the next piece his 'size 12's are going to go bananas with smoke rising from the pedalboard', it takes a strong will to turn a deaf ear. Such a performer is Carlo Curley, self-styled champion of the classical organ, a large and charismatic figure who has dedicated his life to blowing the cobwebs out of the organ loft and bringing music to suit all tastes to the masses - and by all accounts, they're loving every moment of it.

Carlo is world-famous for his elegant performances and quick wit. His delightful informality has attracted a whole new following. Learn more about Carlo through his website www.carlo.com

There is a free pre-concert interview at 5.45pm with Carlo Curley. This talk is not ticketed, so please arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Tickets are $35 for adults and $25 for groups of 10, senior citizens, and students.  Reserved seating can be secured by phoning THE EDGE.
