Very excited that @TruroCathChoir will be singing in Salisbury Cathedral later today 😝 – at South West, England
A reminder that our boy choristers and adults are heading to @SalisburyCath today to take part in their "Stanford - a celebration" festival. An early start, but they will be ready to sing at Evensong this evening. All are welcome to attend. Evensong will start at 17:30.

*Apologies, niche organ post* Is it just me or is this piece criminally underrated? Just had a superb evening starting this from scratch. While perhaps not on many people's top ten Howells lists, it's quickly becoming one of my favourites! #howells #organ – at Chelmsford, East

My evening included much driving. But worth it for the girl's organ lesson. Enjoyed hearing her play @WinCathedral's #fatherwillis & her teacher's @JoshStephensOrg demonstration was glorious! Also so good for me as an organist to sit in on these sessions - I learn a lot too! – at Salisbury, England

We've waited 38 years for this view! With the scaffolding fully removed from the Cathedral's East End, we can now admire the original beauty of the entire exterior as it would have looked in the 14th century after the Spire was added. 📸: Martin Cook

There are worse ways to spend Wed evenings than @WinCathedral songschool when the 14yr old is playing Bach with @JoshStephensOrg during her organ lesson, or their combined score reading of renaissance music. (Good CPD/refreshing of practice technique for me too!). Thank you Josh!

This is a very happy 13yr old at the organ in @WinCathedral having her first organ lesson with @JoshStephensOrg. A shame you can't see the grin! Thank you for inspiring her Joshua! #playlikeagirl @annalapwood @RCO_Updates
