David Crown describes how this war has challenged him on so many levels. He felt he wanted to do what he could do, which is make music, as an offer of help and support to people caught up in this war.
Viscount Classical Organs is supporting this event and will be lending our Regent Classic Chamber organ (pictured below).

I have had a passion for church organs since the tender age of 12. I own and run Viscount Organs with a close attention to the detail that musicians appreciate; and a clear understanding of the benefits of digital technology and keeping to the traditional and emotional elements of organ playing.
