Young Organists' Day

Young Organists' Day, September 2003Sunday 4th April 2004

This annual event organised by Kendrick Partington (seen on the left) is not a competition but simply an opportunity for young players to try the organ. All young keyboard players and organists, from absolute beginners to advanced, are invited to take part. It is free of charge. The photograph shows the event in September 2003 and was taken by Peter Richards, grandfather of Thomas Keogh, one of the participants.
