Dear NDOA member,
Welcome back after our summer break - I hope you are all refreshed.
As well as listing local recitals, I have attached flyers advertising two events outside our patch:
· The Grand Organ festival at Westminster Cathedral
· Organ 200 - celebrating 200 years since an organ was first installed at St. Peter’s Church, Dorchester
Recitals in September
Thursday 14 September, 1.10pm - St. Nicolas’ Church, Newbury.
Lunchtime recital by Stephen Holmes (St. Michael and All Angels’, Lambourn).
Admission free. Retiring collection.
Sunday 17 September, 4pm - St Mary's Church, Streatley.
Recital by Glynne Stackhouse. Refreshments afterwards in the Morrell Room. Tickets £10 on the door (including refreshments) in support of The Friends of St Mary's, Streatley
Monday 25 September, 1pm - Reading Town Hall.
Lunchtime Organ Recital by Marilyn Harper (Christ's Chapel, Dulwich). Tickets £5 in advance, or £6 on the door. For full programme and to book, please visit the Concert Hall website.
Inaugural Recital

Heritage Day Event – Reading Town Hall
Saturday 16 September, 12 noon & 2pm - Reading Town Hall.
Organ Curator Dr. William McVicker explores the history and sounds of the internationally-renowned 'Father' Willis Organ. Find out how it works and listen to some stirring music. Afterwards, there will be a chance to try the instrument. Sessions last approximately one hour. Admission free. No need to book - just turn up.
Visit to Church Organ World
Julian is looking to organise a visit to play the digital organs at Church Organ World at Mixbury Farm near Brackley. Please let him know (click here) if you would be interested in going.
And finally, good luck to all our student members who are moving on to new and exciting stages in their lives. Do keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Christopher
