Saturday 11th January 2020 at 2pm – “An Introduction to Hauptwerk Organs” by Lyndon Ford, at St Cedd’s School, Chelmsford, CM2 0AR
We look forward to welcoming Lyndon Ford for an illustrated talk and demonstration of Hauptwerk software can do. There will be plenty of opportunities for those attending to try the organ on which the software is installed so do bring some music with you! Hauptwerk is a top class electronic sampling system which then works on many existing electronic organs through the MIDI interface with a laptop, allowing you to transform your organ into a sampled historic instrument at relatively low cost. Do come and find out more! Cost for all is £8.
NB: Access is signposted from Upper Bridge Road (Writtle Road end) for parking and those on foot – there will be no access available from the front of the school in London Road.

Tuesday 14th – Friday 17th April 2020 – Extended visit to organs in France
Here is an update on our exciting 4 day trip to France, in the week following Easter 2020 when hopefully we are all recovering from the hectic few days of Easter. In the last newsletter we mentioned Normandy as a possible area, but due to problems with access to some venues, we have decided to change the venue to city organs of Paris of which there are many to choose from!
Accommodation and travel will be your responsibility to book and fund. We expect the maximum event costs for players to be equivalent to £100 and for non-players and observers to be £50 but this, along with the itinerary and details for the essential pre-booking for this trip will follow in due course once venues have been confirmed.
