Admission is free with a retiring collection (please add Gift Aid where possible) for the church’s music fund. All welcome.

This month’s organist will be Christopher Saward, Director of Music, the Church of the Annunciation, Marble Arch.
He joined the church in 1992, and has won acclaim for the ‘verve and panache’ of his Bach playing. An FRCO at the age of nineteen, he was previously Assistant Organist and Acting Director of Music at St Paul’s Church, Knightsbridge. His special interests are in the performance of J.S. Bach, modern French organ music and in free organ improvisation for liturgical and ceremonial use. See more.
