Spectacular sounds on the splendid organ at Orford Church as top organist Francesca Massey gives a recital with music by Mozart, Bach, and Cecilia McDowall.

The annual Catherine Ennis Memorial Recital in Orford Church commemorates the late Catherine Ennis, former president of the Royal College of Organists and director of music at the Church of St Lawrence Jewry, London. Catherine was Patron of the Orford Organ Project, which saw the successful installation in Orford of the magnificent Peter Collins organ originally built in 1977 for the Turner Sims Concert Hall in Southampton, and designed by Britten scholar, Prof. Peter Evans.
