SUMMARY:Bring and share choral music workshop
DESCRIPTION:One of the goals of this event was to encourage those working with small or inexperienced choirs and singers to explore new repertoire and gain support on choir training and conducting. All participants had the chance to conduct the choir and receive some helpful tips and feedback from both EOA President Philip Prior (Director of Music\, St James the Great\, Colchester) and EOA Committee Member\, Jonathan Lilley (Director of Music\, Waltham Abbey). The choir was made of the handful members of the Association who attended the event and allowed music for SATB down to unison to be included. The church’s fine 3 manual and pedal organ recently rebuilt by Andrew Stevens) was used excellently for accompaniment.

SUMMARY:All day visit to organs in Reed\, Standon and Ware\, Hertfordshire
DESCRIPTION:A good number of our members drove the distance to Hertfordshire for this joint event organised by our colleagues in the Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire Organists’ Association\, to visit 4 very different organs that the EOA had not visited before. We began with a brand new 2 manual & pedal tracker organ built in 2024 by N P Mander of Canterbury in the small village church of St Mary’s\, Reed\, between Ware and Stevenage on the old Roman road. We then travelled to St Mary’s Church\, Standon\, a medieval church with an incredibly high chancel\, dating from its earliest days. After an excellent and convivial lunch at The Star pub opposite the church\, where members of both Association were able to socialise\, we drove a few miles to the large market town of Ware for our afternoon visits – the Parish Church of St Mary’s and Christ Church. Our thanks to our colleagues in the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Association for their excellent organisation of an excellent day out!

SUMMARY:All day visit to village organs in the area to the east of Colchester
DESCRIPTION:On a lovely April day with super weather\, a good number of members and friends visited three interesting and historic instruments at parish churches in Bradfield\, Mistley and Ardleigh. At St Lawrence\, Bradfield\, John Barrow\, the church’s organist\, met us and talked about the organ that we see today. Originally a 3 manual and pedal instrument\, it was rebuilt in 1964 by Cedric Arnold as a 2 manual and pedal organ. After a short drive\, which included lovely views of the River Stour estuary\, we arrived at our second venue of the day\, the Georgian Church of St Mary and St Michael\, Mistley\, and after an excellent lunch at The Wooden Fender\, Colchester Road\, Ardleigh\, we moved onto our final venue of the day\, nearer into Colchester. This was the lovely medieval parish church of St Mary’s\, Ardleigh\, with very East Anglian flint exterior and excellent Victorian interior restoration. Our thanks to EOA Minutes Secretary\, Chris Denney\, with the help of his wife Nancy\, for organising such a great day out for us\, including arranging the wonderful food and weather!

SUMMARY:IAO Eastern Regional Day at Our Lady and English Martyrs\, and other venues in central Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Following on from the IAO Eastern Region Organ Day based around French organ music in the liturgy\, hosted by the Essex Organists’ Association in 2023 at Chelmsford Cathedral\, this year’s IAO Eastern Region Organ Day\, hosted by the Cambridge Organists’ Association\, took place at the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and the English Martyrs (OLEM) on the Hills Road in Cambridge. About 45 people were in attendance\, including a pleasing number of EOA members. After registration and coffee\, there was a brief introduction and welcome from the President of the Cambridge Organists’ Association\, Charles Hall\, and from the Director of Music at OLEM\, Nigel Kerry. In the morning we were treated to a very interesting and thought-provoking Keynote Address prepared and presented by Alexander Berry\, Director of Music at Great St Mary’s in Cambridge since 2023 and Director of Music at Bradford Cathedral before that\, on the very important topic of working with young people and encouraging them in church music – both choral singing and organ playing – followed by a lengthy and wide-ranging Q&A session. In the afternoon\, representatives from each of the participating Associations took part in a composite recital at OLEM. There were open console sessions during the lunch break and after the recital at three different venues\, and the organ in OLEM was also available for people to play immediately after the recital.

SUMMARY:Annual General Meeting with supporting attraction and start of 75th celebration year
DESCRIPTION:To mark the 75th anniversary of the re-founding of the Essex Organists’ Association (then known as the Chelmsford & District Organists’ Association) after the Second World War in June 1950\, by the then Master of the Music at Chelmsford Cathedral\, Dr Stanley Vann\, this year’s Annual General Meeting took place at Chelmsford Cathedral and was followed by a special Choral Evensong and a meal at a nearby restaurant. The 75th Annual General Meeting\, which took place in the Cathedral Chapter House\, marked the end of Philip Prior’s seven-year Presidency of the EOA. Then came a special celebratory service of Choral Evensong\, with the new EOA President\, Dr Emma Gibbins – who is Director of Music at Chelmsford Cathedral – conducting\, in the Cathedral at 3.30pm. This was followed by an informal drinks reception in the Cathedral to which all the congregation\, choir members and clergy were invited. Samuel Bristow\, Assistant Organist at Chelmsford Cathedral\, played for the service. The concluding voluntary was the premiere of a new work composed by Sam\, called “Essex Paean”. This work was specially commissioned by the EOA to mark the 75th Anniversary. A copy of this commission has been made available to current EOA members with this newsletter. At 5.30pm\, 15 people\, including the new EOA President Emma Gibbins\, former EOA Presidents Philip Prior and Richard Brasier\, and the composer Samuel Bristow\, went for a group meal at a nearby Italian restaurant\, Il Palazzo – a very sociable and enjoyable conclusion to a very special afternoon of music and celebration. Whilst thanks are due to everyone who attended or was involved in some capacity\, particular thanks are owed to EOA Committee members Andrew Stevens and Michaela Cottee for organising the refreshments\, to former President Philip Prior for making all the arrangements with the Cathedral and the restaurant\, and to Samuel Bristow for his composition. Special thanks are owed to the new President Emma Gibbins who not only curated a wonderful musical service\, but who also spent several hours making and icing special ‘organ stop’ biscuits which were enjoyed by the choristers\, and others\, after the service.

SUMMARY:Organ recital by Dr Emma Gibbins\, Ridgewell Parish Church
DESCRIPTION:We do hope that members will be able to join us on the afternoon Sunday 17th August for what promises to be an enjoyable programme of social activities organised by EOA Vice-Chairman & Treasurer Michaela Cottee\, beginning with a recital at 3pm by the new EOA President Dr Emma Gibbins at St Lawrence Church in Ridgewell\, North Essex\, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to socialise (cost £10\, including refreshments afterwards). We will then drive the short distance to Clare in Suffolk\, where there will be an opportunity to play the organ in the church of St Peter & St Paul – an instrument which world-renowned organist Wayne Marshall OBE has recently said he wants to play (no charge but donations welcome)! We will then walk the very short distance to the (excellent) Mughal Knight restaurant on the High Street for a curry and drinks at 6.15pm. We hope that you will be able to join the President and other members of the Committee for a convivial meal. Please note that diners are expected to pay for their own meals\, and that this restaurant does not have an alcohol licence\, so you should bring your own alcoholic drink(s) – there is no corkage charge\, and the restaurant will provide a corkscrew\, glasses\, ice\, etc. Soft drinks are available to purchase from the restaurant\, so please do not bring your own soft drinks. You are welcome to join us for one\, two or all three of these activities. To help with planning and catering\, please RSVP to EOA Vice-Chairman & Treasurer Michaela Cottee using MichaelaCotteeEOA@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Organ recital by Krystian Kaniecki\, St Francis of Assisi Church\, Colchester Road\, Halstead
DESCRIPTION:At the end of August\, EOA student member Krystian Kaniecki gave an organ recital at St Francis of Assisi RC Church in Halstead. Krystian is supported by the EOA’s Christopher Kingsley Memorial Fund (CKMF) which pays for Krystian to have organ lessons. There was a large audience present to hear Krystian give a very assured and enjoyable performance. Krystian very kindly donated half of the retiring collection to the CKMF\, for which the EOA is very grateful. \nKrystian’s programme was as follows:\nToccata and Fugue in d Minor BWV 565 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750)\nPriѐre a Notre-Dame from ‘Suite Gothique’ Léon Boëllmann (1862 – 1897)\nPolonez from ‘Pan Tadeusz’ Wojciech Kilar (1932 – 2013)\nOrgan Sonata 6 in d Minor Felix Mendelssohn (1809 – 1847)\nPrelude on the Hymn Tune ‘Rhosymedre’ Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958)\nSortie in Eb Major Louis James Alfred Lefébure-Wély (1817 – 1869) \nWell done Krystian!
