Join us for a special Evensong with the Essex Organist Association.
Philip Prior, President of Essex Organisation said:
"We are delighted to be able to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of The Essex Organists’ Association as part of Trinity Sunday Choral Evensong at Chelmsford Cathedral.
The Association was refounded after the War on 10th June 1950 by Dr Stanley Vann, then Master of the Music at Chelmsford Cathedral, at a meeting of interested parties held in the Chapter House.
It is indeed very fitting that Association members and friends should then gather for the start of their celebration year in 2025 in the exact place where the Association’s current incarnation began 75 years ago.
In honour of this significant occasion, we are also delighted that Samuel Bristow (Assistant Organist at the Cathedral) has agreed to write a new organ piece to be played as the concluding voluntary, entitled ‘Paean’ or ‘song of praise or triumph!’
