Return of Walton / Weybridge
Organist |
|
The Charity of Robert Phillips has
given a grant to Walton and Oatlands Choral Society for
their next concert - Handel’s Messiah - so that they
could invite a former local musical director of St Mawes
School, Weybridge, and a former conductor of the choir,
to play the organ for the concert. He is none other than
Mr William Hayward, who has been greatly missed since he
moved to Shrewsbury in 1995. |
|
Many old friends and fans will
want to hear him and our young local trumpeter Phil
Singleton. The soloists are Fiona O’Neil, Alison
Renvoize, Gavin Sayers and Simon Lobelson. |
