Rising stars of the Royal Opera: The festival is excited to welcome two young artists as they start their careers as Jette Parker Young Artists at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Ellen Pearson and Sam Hird give us a wonderful recital of songs, arias and duets, with festival director Alison Wells at the piano.  You saw them here first…

Sunday 25th May  

Organ event: The Festival’s genesis was as a celebration of the centenary of a major restoration of the organ at St Mary’s, and we have each year had a talk and a recital by members of our organ-playing community.  This year we’ll have a talk on the changing role of the organ, from church to cinema, followed by tea and cake, and a recital given by members of the organ community in our Parish.  Free admission
