Event:Organ Recital - John Cheer
Join us for the next concert in our organ recital series at 1pm on Friday 27 June.
John was born in Brentwood, Essex. He grew up in a household where eclectic musical taste was the norm: his father, a largely self-taught amateur musician, enjoyed (and would have a go at playing) almost anything from Bach to the Beatles. As a teenager, John was fortunate to be offered a local authority funded place in the Saturday Junior Department of Trinity College of Music, going on to read Physics and Music in Cardiff – where he has lived ever since.
John enjoys a wide range of musical activities and is especially busy as an accompanist, organist and continuo player. He has always been involved with church music, and is currently organist at All Saints, Penarth, while also running the music group at Beulah United Reformed Church in Rhiwbina. In addition, John is a Music Therapist – having trained at UWE in Bristol – and since 2011 he has worked part time in the Bristol Community Learning Disabilities Team.
As capacity is limited in the gallery, pre-booking is essential.
