Tickets £10 (£5 conc) at the door or in advance from Mike Mawby (mobile no. 07973 530936). Proceeds in aid of the St Augustine’s Living Heritage Appeal Fund which is currently raising funds to carry out essential repairs to address high level stone work & cracking and structural problems. 

Noel Tredinnick and his players from All Souls Church, Langham Place, in the heart of London's West End, regularly pack out the Royal Albert Hall and major concert venues around the country with a programme of sacred and secular popular music that inspires and uplifts those of faith or of no faith at all!   Members of the All Souls Orchestra will be coming to St Augustine’s to bring some of their special musical magic and Christian inspiration to the area.  

Noel, who is a conducting professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, is no stranger to St Augustine's, that fabulous Victorian gem of a church set amidst the beautiful woodlands of One Tree Hill, as he was baptised and sang there in the choir and played the organ in his younger years.  He's thrilled and honoured to be bringing some of his outstandingly talented professional musician friends back to the church again in Honor Oak Park with a programme for all the family – sacred and secular music, vocal solos, orchestral favourites, stunning playing and singing. The audience will be invited to join in, from time to time, with singing songs and hymns old and new.

Guest performers include: Vocalist Kelly Rainford (West End); Caron Cavalier and Caroline Sharp (violins); Nathan Richards (trumpet) and Ollie Nicolson (organ).

Orchestral pieces will include: selections from Bach's Concerto for 2 Violins in D minor, and Guilmant's Organ Symphony No. 1 for organ and orchestra.  Elgar's music will also be included alongside a favourite song or two from favourite musicals.  A true Feast of Music and Praise!

Bring family and friends with you!! Tell your neighbours !!

St Augustine’s can be reached easily from London Bridge Station or the London Overground (Honor Oak Park Station).  See www.augustineonetreehill.org.uk for full details of how to find the venue.

'Take a Pew'

22 sculptors were invited to respond to the offer to Take a Pew for a month. The prayer book shelves in each pew at the back and sides of St Augustine's are being used to display an exciting array of artwork to the general public in a variety of media. Ceramics, textiles, metalwork, photography grace the pew shelves. From communion wafers, prayer books, palm leaves, wedding cakes, piano keys, elbow rests and vestments to church architecture, the artists were inspired by the rites, rituals and festivals that occur over the year in the church,  and have responded to the location in very different ways.

Not all the artists are practicing Christians but all of them are engaging in an exploration of their understanding of the nature of church and worship.  The experience of creating work for display in a worship space is one that  provides material for reflection, meditation, pleasure, challenge and inspiration.   

Three photographers are also exhibiting their pictures of the church in the gallery space in the North meeting room.

The show has now finished but a small selection of the exhibits are remaining in the church and may be viewed when the church is open.
