New Organ Scholar
In October we were delighted to be able to appoint Peter Wakeford as our new Organ Scholar. He has come to us from Chelmsford Cathedral, and has come to Glasgow to read Physics at Glasgow University. Peter has already contributed several voluntaries and accompaniments to services and he sings counter-tenor in the choir when not on the organ bench.
Chorister Successes
Congratulations to Magnus Maharg, a baritone in the Cathedral Choir and a scholar at the Music School of Douglas Academy, who has been offered a Choral Scholarship to Clare College, Cambridge, and a place to read Politics, Philosophy and Sociology.
Congratulations, too, to Katie Athorne, one of our senior trebles, who has gained a place in the Girls’ Choir of the National Youth Choir of Scotland.
