The County Hotel\, which is within easy reach of Chelmsford railway station\, has once again offered us use of the private dining room on the first floor (please note\, there is no lift access.) Partners and friends are welcome to join us.\nMany of you are doubtless already familiar with Tom and his wide-ranging body of work. According to his website (tombell-organist.net)\, Tom has built a vibrant portfolio as a performer\, teacher and animateur. He has performed across Europe\, in Australia\, the Far East and the USA. Tom’s recordings have been broadcast and won praise internationally. Tom’s students have held prestigious positions across the UK. He himself was taught by Kevin Bowyer\, Jacques van Oortmerssen and Ann Elise Smoot. Organist to the renowned Organworks project from 2007-2017\, Tom continues his educational work as a Director of the Royal College of Organists. Tom was Artistic Director of the London Organ Day 2013-2026\, is a patron of the Society of Women Organists and a member of the Association of Independent Organ Advisers.

SUMMARY:Composite Recital in aid of the Christopher Kingsley Memorial Fund for Organists
DESCRIPTION:The aim of the Christopher Kingsley Memorial Fund (CKMF) is to offer modest grants towards the costs associated with being an organist\, such as organ music\, organ shoes and organ lessons. The fund is open to organists aged 25 and under who are living\, working or studying in Essex.\nFollowing the success of the composite recital that took place at Shenfield Parish Church in February 2026\, which raised over £400 for the CKMF\, it is our intention to hold another composite recital to raise much-needed funds for the CKMF. This will take place at Witham Parish Church (St Nicolas\, Chipping Hill\, Witham CM8 2JS) on Saturday 20th February and coincides with the tenth anniversary of the original launch concert. We already have some players lined up to take part but if you are interested in playing\, we would love to hear from you. Please email organistassociation@gmail.com.\nThe organ in Witham Parish Church is a two manual Kenneth Tickell organ\, built in 2003.\nNPOR: npor.org.uk/survey/E00462
