Saturday 27th September 2025
Holy Trinity Church, Weston
Anne Page (Organ)
Anne Page is well known to audiences in the UK and abroad as an organist of great virtuosity, integrity and musicianship. She made her London debut at the Royal Festival Hall playing 20th century masterpieces, and an international recital career followed. During 2011/12 she performed the complete organ works of Bach on 14 instruments in 11 chapels and churches.
We are hoping that Anne will do an afternoon masterclass, followed by an evening concert in which she will demonstrate the full potential of our small organ in Holy Trinity Church.

The Future
Our programming is deliberately diverse, including a mix of both popular and lesser-known classical music, sometimes familiar, sometimes challenging, but always given by outstanding performers.
Once more we are grateful to our individual supporters and also to our County Councillor, Steve Jarvis. Together our Society not only survives but continues to punch above its weight.
Tickets are £20 (Thanks to a grant from Hertfordshire County Council tickets are free for children and people in full time education). Tickets are also available on the door unless the concert is over subscribed. It is easy to book by clicking the link to TryBooking given when the concert is listed.
