Music at St Mary's
The Vicar has a particular
interest in hymns, both traditional and modern, and we use a wide
selection of hymnody month by month. The more who come to sing the better!
On occasion, we have welcomed
local, national and international artists, either as part of the liturgy
or simply using the church building as a concert venue.
It is a
wonderful venue:
-
acoustically good
- well
placed within Bedfordshire
-
north-south rail station (Harlington)
- our
own motorway junction (M1 J12)
- good
road links all points of the compass
-
parking and toilets provided by Harlington Parish Council
- an
aesthetically pleasing environment of Grade I character.
- cool
in the summer and surprisingly warm in the winter
- access
and welcome for the disabled
- soon
to be floodlit
In the Pipeline:
- The
Hermitage Ensemble of St Petersburg, a small traditional Russian choir,
have been invited back for another stunning devotional and folk sound
experience.
-
“Former Organists’ Concert”. The faithful village organists who formerly
struggled with the old instrument, are keen to join our current organist
Pearl Everett to show off the new sounds and possibilities. A relaxed
evening looking back with former friends.
-
Sunday 6th May 2007 International Dawn Chorus Day – watch
this space for a lively musical treat.
