This special concert is a memorial tribute to Peter Partridge, a generous Canadian patron of the arts who died suddenly in October 2018. Peter is a former organist of Westminster Abbey, and in 2017 he donated a new practice organ to the Abbey Choir School.

In partnership with the Canadian International Organ Competition, of which Mr. Partridge was a board member.
