We are holding a concert and cream tea in memory of our beloved organist Frances Whewell who died last year.
The event will be on Saturday, September 7th, at 2.30pm at St John’s, starting with the concert which will be performed by a mix of soloists—singers and instrumentalists—and the church choir.
After the concert, a cream tea will be served. There will also be a raffle.
Admission is free but there will be a retiring collection for parish funds.
Emily, the St Mark’s Edwardian organ, will be up to her old tricks again on Saturday afternoon (January 25) when members of NHOA, the North Hampshire Organists’ Association, give an interactive demonstration of how an organ works and play some of their favourite pieces on her. As NHOA has proved on previous occasions, Emily is a perfect match for them.
NHOA is holding its AGM at St Mark’s at lunchtime and then will open the doors to the general public at 2pm for an organ concert and demonstration. Everyone is welcome, it will be quirky, fun and free.
Pictured above are members of NHOA showing just what goes on inside an organ.
