Organ Recitals
Third Tuesday, 1pm in St. Mary's
Lunchtime organ recitals are held in St Mary's Church on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 1pm and last approximately an hour. The recitals will be preceded by bread and soup for all in the church hall from 12:00. There is no charge for admission but there will be a retiring collection to offset the series expenses.
The next recital in the series of 3rd Tuesday of the month organ recitals will be given by Brian Cotterill on Tuesday June 16th.
Brian lives in Farnham and is an organist for many churches in this area. He has been a regular recitalist at St Mary’s, Frensham, and his programme this year will include numerous popular and entertaining pieces for organ. Brian’s recital is at 1:00pm and will be preceded by soup and bread in the church hall at 12:00pm.
The recital on Tuesday July 21st at 1:00pm will be played by Clive Osgood. Clive is the Director of Music and Organist of St Bartholomew’s Church in Haslemere.
