Recent Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The one event since the last newsletter was Richard Pilliner\u2019s repertoire session at St. John\u2019s Church, East Dulwich on May 7th. This was, as is usually the case, an event with a small group, being a specialist workshop aimed at individuals looking for support with a particular piece of music. Richard\u2019s gentle and expert encouragement proved just right for the occasion. We heard an amazing variety of music from four players: Alan Saggerson (Mendelssohn\u2019s Allegro in D minor), Robert Bowles (Kenneth Leighton\u2019s Ode), Andrew Cadney (Sine Nomine, by Herbert Howells) and Bridget West (Litanies, by Jehan Alain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forthcoming Events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, June 11th.<\/span> – Peter Smith has provided full details which we sent out earlier this week. He says: \u201cThis is a somewhat different itinerary from the one originally planned. It has the advantage that both churches and the pub are all within reasonable walking distance of each other. It will probably be best for people to come by public transport as parking could be difficult.\u201d Please contact us <\/a>is you\u2019d like to come but haven\u2019t told us yet. If you forget to make contact, you can still come! Full programme here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday, June 14th. at 7.30p.m. and Saturday, June 25th. at 4.00p.m.<\/span> – although not officially part of our programme for the year, the Penge Festival is celebrating its 50th. anniversary and a dozen or so of our members offered to play on one or both of these two dates. All welcome! Alan Langridge has put two exciting programmes together and more information can be found here<\/a>. As usual, we are using Penge Congregational Church, with its large three manual organ. The address is 172 High Street, SE20 7QS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, June 18th.<\/span> – London Organ Day. This is organised by our parent group, the IAO. \u201cGrand Vauxhall Extravaganza\u201d at St Peter\u2019s Church, Vauxhall, SE11 5HY Booking information can be found here<\/a>. I may have passed the deadline, but it\u2019s worth a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
