Welcome
to another year of Music at St.Michael’s - a reminder as to why this beautiful
building and its attendant College came into being in the first place.
Opened
in 1856, the College was built to promote and revive Anglican Church Music
under the guidance of its founder, Sir Frederick Arthur Gore Ouseley. That it
succeeded, as many composers and organists of the last 150 years would testify,
is without doubt. Unfortunately, it could not withstand the many social and
economic pressures of the 1980’s and in 1985 the College closed.
St
Michael’s Parish has been able to continue a programme of conservation repairs
to the Church with the
support
of The Council for the Care of Churches, English
Heritage, The Garfield Weston and Wolfson Foundations, The Historic Churches
Preservation Trust, (National and Worcs & Dudley), The
William
and Jane Morris Fund and the Allchurches, Lesley
David
, Alan Evans Memorial, Idlewild and Manifold Trusts.
Thanks
to strong
support
from the Ouseley Trust, the St. Michael’s College
Society and the local community, we have also maintained some of
Sir
Frederick’s original wishes in the Choral Services and Organ Recitals
