The Music Staff
The Titular Organist and Choirmaster is Adv Deon Irish OSC SC BA LLB (UCT) LTCL (Perf), who succeeded Richard Cock as Organist and Choirmaster on Advent Sunday of 1972. At the petition of the parish, he was awarded the title Titular Organist by the Bishop of Table Bay in 2002, both in recognition of his 30th anniversary as Organist as also to mark the donation by him to the parish of the 1907 Norman & Beard two manual organ aquired from Addington Palace, the pipework, keyboards and blower of which was used in the rebuilding of the parish's then three manual 1906 Norman & Beard.
The Organ Scholar is Gareth Baard, now in his second year in the post. He is a student at the South African College of Music.
