Martin Cooke Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Not sure if folks will have noticed, but Portsmouth has had some work done recently to bring the console up to date. A new Trompette de Maris - a chamade positioned at the west end - is currently being installed. You can read all about this on the Nicholson website/facebook page, and hear the chamade played by its voicer in the works. It is to be inaugurated in September at a recital by Gordon Stewart with a new fanfare by Noel Rawsthorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwilson Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Not an appointment exactly but I couldn't help but notice that Stephen Cleobury for the first time has put a date on his retirement in an interview, saying it will be in "two to three years". There goes my theory he'd resign on his 70th conveniently-dated birthday after Christmas next year. http://www.hamhigh.co.uk/etcetera/music/choir-brings-the-floating-resonance-of-king-s-college-chapel-to-st-jude-s-prom-1-5089902 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Allison Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Ross Cobb (Organist and Director of Music, St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney) to St John’s Cathedral to give the next recital in this year’s Twilight International Organ Series. Ross studied at the Guildhall School of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, and King's College London (where he was an assistant to the late David Trendell), and was the first Thalben-Ball Organ Scholar at St Michael's, Cornhill. He was later Director of Music at Christ Church Clifton in Bristol, and St Barnabas' Kensington in London. In 2005, Ross relocated to Sydney to take up the position of Organist and Director of Music at St Andrew's Cathedral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am and I was thinking of Christ Church, Clifton but I have just noticed that Peter Allison mentioned that in his post. I remember the organ at Christ Church as being a nice instrument and I also remember Wayne Marshall's recital on it some years back (can't recall when!) which included a round of variations on the theme from "The Flintstones". Hope you are enjoying life in Aus. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbelstern Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I’ve just had a look at the job spec. £15,000 for 20 hours per week for a top class, highly experienced allround musician, organist, conductor, manager and administrator with a list of skills, duties and responsibilities as long as your arm. Presumably a graduate with an FRCO. All for around £15 an hour. For that you can get a job in London as a handyperson, a door-to-door fundraiser for Shelter, a labourer, a mini-cab supervisor, or a housekeeper (all advertised on Gumtree). The Shelter advert actually says: “Ideal for Performing Arts Graduates!” Super flumina Babylonis ibi sedimus et flevimus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham Cathedral are advertising for a Head of Music, a full time position and they are paying £33,000. No accommodation is offered. I won't work out the Mathematics but I would imagine that equates to very little more - if anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Drinkell Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 There was a move, largely successful, by the Cathedral Organists Association some years ago, to bring organists' salaries into line with those paid to residentiary canons. I don't know if the same principle still applies. Of course, the two posts are not completely comparable, as clergy tend to have a lot of perks and expenses which organists don't, whereas organists may make a nice little extra sum from concerts and pupils. One cathedral, while raising the organist's salary to that of a residentiary canon, stopped paying him fees for weddings and funerals. However, the assistant did get paid for such of these services as he accompanied, so he ended up doing all of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
