Music has always been a very important part of the life of St. Andrew’s. Our music is lead by our very able organist Steve
Lethbridge - a professional musician and piano tuner. Steve plays in support of several local amateur dramatic and operatic groups and sometimes even participates in the ‘shows’. Steve also
organises and plays concerts for us.
We are fortunate in having a Viscount organ, which is so versatile that it can play itself, provided Steve and others have recorded something on it ! It even can be played through the ‘midi’
interphase from a subsidiary keyboard which means that we can have an orchestral sound as well as the organ sounds.
St. Andrew’s Orchestra
Several times a year the musicians in the Church are invited to make an orchestra for a special service. Any one, any age and ability is welcome to come and join Steve on these occasions. We
always can do with more volunteers!
We currently have a junior music group who are always seeking new members.
Music Support
Steve is supported on the organ by Norman Williams, John Henderson, Nigel Newlyn and Blair Letman on Piano.
Joint Church Christmas Choir
Traditionally, Northwood Hills URC and St. Andrew’s have joined together to sing at the CTE Carol Service (this year they are also to sing at the Open Carol Service at St. Andrew’s). More
information on the Notice Board and What’s On pages.
