Lecture : St Mary’s Perivale 2004-2024
An overview of the past 20 years 

 

Dr Hugh Mather and his team have organized over 1460 concerts at St Mary’s Perivale since September 2004, with performances by 500 pianists and 210 violinists etc, and now hold 120 concerts per year. They have installed superb video facilities, and now broadcast virtually all concerts, receiving over 100,000 views per year from over 70 countries on YouTube. This has been a collaborative effort, with major contributions from Roger Nellist, and our technical team led by Simon Shute, with George Auckland and Andrew Whadcoat, as well as many other people. This lecture will present the story of the past 20 years. 

Hugh Mather started the piano and organ at an early age, gaining the FRCO and the ARCM piano performers diplomas. He then studied medicine at Cambridge University and Westminster Medical School and was Consultant Physician at Ealing Hospital from 1982 to 2006. He continued his piano studies with James Gibb, and gave countless concerts in West London as concerto soloist, recitalist, accompanist and chamber musician. He has been Chairman of the Friends of St Mary’s Perivale since 2005, and has organized almost 1500 concerts there. He is also organist at St Barnabas Church in Ealing.
