Interstellar - Roger Sayer Organ

Doors open and refreshments 6.15 - Concert 18.45 - 8 pm.

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).

Doors open 6.15 p.m.
