A quick reminder that, as announced at the weekend, we’re sorry that today’s scheduled choral evensong has had to be cancelled, owing to disruption of the choir’s travel plans. Do join us for other Thursday choral evensongs in the coming academic year!

Happy #InternationalOrganDay 2023! Here is our 2-manual organ originally built in 1903 by J. J. Binns for a church in Leith, inaugurated by the consultant Alfred Hollins, and Binns’ demonstration organ and the basis for other organs built by the company in the Edinburgh area.

[St Stephen's, Rochester Row @ststephensroch1]

The organ is played regularly in our liturgies by our three associated organists - Director of Music @mjblaiden, Associate Organist Jason Richards, and Organist Emeritus Rosemary Field; and in concerts and other events held by us and external partners.
