Happy 80th birthday to Dame Gillian Weir, winner of our Interpretation Prize in 1964 and distinguished juror in 1977 and 1981.

Regrettably we have had to postpone recitals by David Titterington (Jan) and Thomas Trotter (Feb). We are optimistic that restrictions will ease sufficiently for events later in the Spring; and for us all to meet in St Albans for the Festival and Competitions in July.
A very happy birthday to David Titterington, our Artistic and Executive Director as well as long-time Head of Organ at @RoyalAcadMusic and @UoLondon Professor.
A celebrated festival, every two years
Arguably the world’s leading organ competition, and a lot more
