GoJo Bear - The Talking Teddy Bear, Gojo

Dear children and parents of the St. Gabriel’s community. On Sunday, the 15th of September 2024 from 2pm to 4pm, we have the special pleasure to welcome GoJo Bear, a speaking Teddy Bear, to the church. The bear uses the latest technology to tell stories, teach languages and lessons about the world in a playful way. The creators of the bear will personally be there to supervise the session, which is free of charge and accessible for children aged 3 and upwards. They are looking forward to welcoming many of you to come and play with the bear, as well as give your feedback on how to develop the bear in the future.

Please register here for the free event:

"MINI MOZART IN PIMLICO! Weekly Classes Wednesday mornings in term time

JOIN US ON WEDNESDAYS WITH A LITTLE DISCOUNT CODE!

Hi all! We are running super sweet story based, live music classes for toddlers & babies in PIMLICO on Wednesday mornings. We would love it if you could come along/spread the word (or both!) The Pimlico classes are a lovely bunch of children and adults with such a gorgeous vibe! Details below:

MINI MOZART - Live music story based pre-school classes in Pimlico - DISCOUNT CODE: tash (new members)

Wednesday mornings @ St Gabriel's Church, Warwick Square, SW1V 4QF

A different instrument and story every week!

Toddlers - 09:30am | Babies - 10:25am

The idea of Mini Mozart is to get children really interested in music so that rather than merely hearing, they are actively and avidly listening.

By the time they leave us to go to school, we want them to be raring to go with an idea about what instrument they’d like to play and consider music to be an integral part of their lives!

Don’t just put this on your ‘to do’ list, we do have limited capacity in many venues so pop along, we would love to meet you!"

Friday 21st June at 7.00p.m.,

ROGER SAYER has been a star in the firmament of British music for over 30 years as well as achieving international recognition as an organist, choral director, educator and examiner. His exceptional talent proved itself early when he was a Prizewinner in the St Albans International Organ Competition in 1989 and a year later attained a post at Rochester Cathedral before the age of 30.

Roger became Director of Music at Temple Church, London in 2013 and in addition to frequent recitals and broadcasts, undertook tours with the celebrated Temple Church Choir in Europe, Australia and North America. A year later he received a phone call that changed his life: an invitation to record the organ part for the blockbusterInterstellar, released later the same year. Roger has since performed live with its award-winning composer, Hans Zimmer, at the Royal Albert Hall and in 2023 at the 02, London in the show HANS ZIMMER LIVE to an audience of 40,000.

Roger left Temple in 2023 to pursue a full-time concert career. A major focus of his work is Interstellar 10 where he shares his experience of working with two living geniuses of cinema: director Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer before performing his own version of the original score - which no other organist is in a position to do! Already playing to sell-out audiences, Roger enthuses: I find it very inspiring to see this music reaching both young and old; it is not difficult to grasp why Zimmer considers it his best score. He will mark the 10th anniversary with performances throughout Europe and Australia, culminating in a major tour across Canada.

He is without doubt an extraordinary artist whose humanity shines in the impeccable artistry that flows from his hands
(Hans Zimmer).

Join us on the 6th June at St Gabriel's Church in Pimlico as we tackle Dvorak's iconic 'New World' symphony & Rossini's Barber of Seville Overture.

Delve deeper into the heart of the music with our conductor who will unveil the inspiration and secrets behind the scores. Discover the stories behind these masterpieces and gain new insights into the minds of their composers.

Conducted by Alexander Conway

Each musical selection will be thoughtfully paired with a stanza from Wood's poem, creating a tapestry of reflection and emotion. Conducted by Jamie Powe
