Join us for a varied concert with something for everyone: from solos on the War Memorial Organ, to music from an eclectic mix of instruments and voices. The programme includes everything from organ to trumpet, saxophone to voices, plus clarinet and piano music from composers such as J. S. Bach to Brahms, Herbie Hancock to Eric Satie, and many more.

Tickets: £7/£6 (students/full OSOS members).

The programme from the evening is available here.

Acclaimed organist Jeremy Blandford returns to the school to give a recital on the War Memorial Organ.

To include music by Bach, Mozart, Elgar, Whitlock, and Reubke.

The evening will also offer the exclusive chance to see the organ up close, including a look inside the organ chamber to see the 1228 pipes and mechanisms that make the instrument sing!

The recital will take full advantage of the rebuilt organ's increased resources, and Jeremy's award-winning skill - a Royal College of Organists Exhibition led Jeremy from school in Southend to Cambridge, where he was Organ Scholar at Clare College and read an honours degree in music. Since then, positions in church music and education have taken him from Southampton to Norway, where he now lives. His skills as an organist, harpsichordist and accompanist have taken him across the world, with organ recitals in the U.S.A. and throughout Europe, and broadcasts on radio and television. We are delighted to be welcoming Jeremy back to Southend in July.

Tickets: £8/£7 (students/full OSOS members)

The internationally acclaimed organist, Adrian Lucas (Tuscany, 1972 - 1979), will be returning to SHSB to perform on its iconic 91 year old organ and also meet some of the school's young musicians this October.

Having held the post of Organist and Master of the Music at the cathedrals of Norwich, Portsmouth and, finally, Worcester, where he directed the Three Choirs Festivals and the City of Birmingham Choir, Adrian is now a much sought after organ recitalist, consultant and composer/arranger, freelance musician, conductor, and broadcaster.

As President of the newly-formed Old Southendian Organ Society, Adrian is keen to help raise awareness of this finely crafted instrument to a wider public.

A performance by Adrian Lucas is no mere organ recital: his eclectic versatility across an astonishingly wide range of musical styles, all delivered with dazzling virtuosity, makes it a rewarding and entertaining evening which will linger in the memory.
