The Cathedral’s ‘Concert at One’ is a series of recitals, which offers local students an opportunity to demonstrate their talents, as a soloist or with small ensembles, and featuring organist Joseph Nolan performing Vierne’s Six Organ Symphonies.

Dean of the Cathedral Dr John Shepherd introduced the concert, commenting that Christ Church’s musical programme was outstanding because it helped to train the aspiring professional musician just as well as it supports boys who want to participate in bands and ensembles for enjoyment.

Director of Music Kevin Gillam said: “Performing at St George’s in this series was a marvelous opportunity for these students, and a great opportunity for the School to demonstrate the breadth of our musical programme; from contemporary to classical.”
