All of us at the St Albans International Organ Festival were saddened to hear of the death of Martin Neary, who won Second Interpretation Prize at the first St Albans International Organ Competition in 1963.
We offer heartfelt condolences to Martin’s widow, Penny, and to all of his family.
The Times obituary: Martin Neary, superlative director of music
