March 2023 Fellow's update: Douglas Hollick
Classical artist, Douglas Hollick (CF 2000) has released his latest organ CD, recorded in the Chapel of Trinity College Cambridge on the renowned Metzler organ. One of the objectives of his Fellowship was to visit collections of early keyboard instruments, and churches with their great 17th century organs. This new recording traces the huge influence of the Netherlands organ builders in North Germany. The Metzler organ in Trinity Chapel is ideal for this repertoire, with a historical unequal tuning rather than modern equal temperament, and with an ability to re create many of the typical registrations of the period.

March 2023 Fellow's update: Maria Gasparian
Ceramic artist, Maria Gasparian (CF 2016) has been commissioned by Wandsworth Borough Council to create public artwork for a new housing development in Battersea. Maria's artwork is inspired by the legacy of Jesse and Henry Rust Victorian mosaic manufacturers, who produced colourful vitreous mosaics in Battersea and lived on Randall Street, which is now the Surrey Lane Estate. Maria says she hopes the artwork will bring vibrancy and fun to the outdoor spaces.
