We are delighted that our friends from Symphonia Academica will be joining us for a concert on Sunday 13 November at 3.00pm.

They will be joined by clainettist Nicholas Carpenter for a performance of the beautiful clarinet  quintet by Brahms and the delightfully pastoral set of Bagatelles by Gerald Finzi.

Nick became the principal clarinet of the BBC Concert Orchestra just before the pandemic. Last year he gave a stunning performance of Weber’s second clarinet concerto with BBCCO, broadcast on BBC Radio3.

The concert will last about an hour without an interval.

Admission is free with retiring collection. To reserve your place please phone Peter on 01582 882159 or email bussereau@icloud.com.

We kick-off the process of appointing a vicar with this intriguingly titled meeting, on 12th September at 7:30pm.

The meeting will be chaired by the Archdeacon of St Albans, Ven Jane Mainwaring, and is one of the key ways that all members of the congregation can have a say in the appointment process.

Archdeacon Jane will also set out key steps in the process, and give some idea of timing.

Please do come along to this very important meeting in the life of St Marys.
