An organ recital given by a distinguished soloist has long been a feature of every Thames Concerts series. This year we are delighted to welcome Francesca Massey. All concerts take place at St Andrew’s Church, Surbiton. Full programme details and Artistic Director’s notes may be viewed here.
Francesca Massey has recently embarked upon a freelance portfolio career as an organist, choral conductor and teacher. Born in Birmingham in 1982, she was educated at Cambridge University and the Royal Northern College of Music (on a prestigious ABRSM Scholarship). She has many years’ experience of working in cathedral and church music, having held organ scholarships at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and Manchester Cathedral, as well as the positions of Assistant Organist at Great St Mary's Church, Cambridge, Assistant Director of Music at Peterborough Cathedral, Sub-Organist at Durham Cathedral and Director of Music and Organist at Rochester Cathedral.
