The following is the text of a letter sent by the Rector to the Brothers with the Autumn Programme:
This year's October Organ Recitals at the Oratory will commemorate the centenary of the birth of Olivier Messiaen, one of the most significant voices in twentieth century organ music.
As the organ, designed by Ralph Downes, at the Royal Festival Hall is currently out of action, the series is being given in conjunction with the South Bank Centre, and it is anticipated that there will be many more people attending the recitals than usual.
The Music Department have asked us to provide ushers for the series. We really need at least five people for each evening. Could you please let me know whether you will be able to assist at any of the concerts, which will be taking place every Monday in October at 7.30p.m., and which last about an hour each?
Many thanks for your co-operation.
