Britain's What's On Event Guide
St Martin's Organ Gift Day
An open day featuring our organ, full of short informal recitals by a stellar team of local organists (see list below) to raise funds for essential repairs to our historic instrument.
Exhibition of the organ’s 100-year history.
All day refreshments with homemade cakes and savoury scones, from 10am.
Can you help us raise £10,000?
Happily, most of the organ is still playable at the moment, and it is proof of the quality of the instrument that we have been able to gather this team of distinguished local organists to play for us:
Benedict Braddock - Organ Scholar, Worcester Cathedral
Michael Jones - Recitalist and organ historian
Marion Tunwell - Organist, United Reformed Church, Broadway
Piers Maxim - Organist & Director of Music, Malvern Priory
Matt Gardner - Deputy Organist, St Martin’s Church
