On Tuesday evening we were delighted to welcome members of our School community along with many new guests who came from far and wide to share an inspirational musical evening with organist extraordinaire, Roger Sayer in the chapel at King Edward’s Witley. As the original Interstellar organist put heart and soul in to his performance, our illuminated organ truly sang out. The Interstellar film score as well as Holst’s ‘Planet Suite’ filled the chapel and took us on an incredible musical journey accompanied by powerful video excerpts from the movie and approach/lander missions to Jupiter, Venus and Mars.

A humorous and humble storyteller, Roger shared his extraordinary experience of being personally selected by Hans Zimmer to play the Interstellar score - stories which held us all completely captivated. With huge generosity, Roger stayed after his performance to talk with many organ and Interstellar enthusiasts who queued with excitement to ask their questions and share a moment with him.

A huge thank you to Roger and to all who joined us for another superb evening of music at King Edward’s - one which truly reminded us of the power of music and what it is to feel unified through our shared experiences of it.
