Inversion
INVERSION was formed by Robert and Ruth in 2002 whilst they were both at Trinity College of Music. They first performed around London as a Flute and Piano Duo, but after a series of rehearsals in the Old Royal Naval College Chapel using the organ, they decided to form their unique Flute and Organ Duo. The different and changeable tone colours on the flute can be echoed and blended on the organ due to the organ’s matched use of air and pipes. Ruth and Robert perform extensively in many cathedrals and churches throughout England and have performed internationally in Bermuda’s Festival of the Performing Arts.

Berkshire Organists' Association
Patron: Dame Gillian Weir
The Berkshire Organists' Association is proud to support the series of organ recitals on the historic Father Willis organ in the Concert Hall, ensuring that this important instrument is played and heard regularly.
Our association was formed in 1921 with the aims of promoting the art of organ playing, bringing the organ and its music to the public, and providing advice and support to players. We hold regular organ-related events monthly for members, including social gatherings and visits to churches, cathedrals and concert halls across Southern England. We also arrange public organ concerts in local churches.
New members, who need not be players, can be assured of a very warm welcome. We hope that anyone interested in the organ and its music will join us.
