Interstellar Concert

Marking the 10th anniversary of the film Interstellar, musician Roger Sayer performs music from the film on our world class church organ.

About the concert


It’s been 10 years since the release of the groundbreaking Christopher Nolan blockbuster “Interstellar.” It won various accolades, including being nominated for Best Original Score at the Academy Awards. Now is your chance to hear this phenomenal soundtrack played by the original performer on the world-renowned St. Mary Redcliffe Organ.


St Mary Redcliffe is hosting a unique concert showcasing music from the film. This will be performed by celebrated musician Roger Sayer, the primary organist working alongside Hans Zimmer to create the iconic soundtrack for Interstellar's release in 2014.

Originally recorded in Temple Church in London, Roger collaborated with Zimmer and Nolan to craft the moving score using the power and creativity of the organ. The performance will take place at the extraordinary St Mary Redcliffe Church, the home of “Britain's finest organ”. This is a special opportunity to experience the incredible soundtrack and celebrate the wonder of space travel and its boundless capabilities.


“ROGER IS, WITHOUT EXAGGERATION, AN EXTRAORDINARY ARTIST, WHOSE HUMANITY SHINES IN THE IMPECCABLE ARTISTRY THAT FLOWS FROM HIS HANDS…” HANS ZIMMER


There will be opportunities to hear Roger reminisce about working with Hans Zimmer as well as the chance for audience members to ask questions about the making of the soundtrack.

Join us on February the 8th for an out-of-this-world experience.

Last Sunday marked the end of another choir term—and what a term it has been! We've welcomed new choristers, learnt plenty of exciting music, sung for some wonderful liturgies, and eaten what can only be described as a significant amount of biscuits. The day began with a very special visit from Sing Start! , who joined us for the Eucharist. Together we sang Litany of the Holy Spirit and Joanna Forbes L'Estrange's St Helen's Mass. A huge thank you to Helena from Children's Church for organising ice creams afterwards—a thoroughly appreciated post-service treat! We're also delighted that a large number of Sing Start! children will be joining our regular treble lines from September. This is tremendously exciting, not only for the choir's future growth but also for the long-term strength and sustainability of our music-making at SMR. In the evening, we gathered for a special service celebrating the composer Charles Wood, marking 100 years since his death. It was a fitting tribute to one of the great figures of Anglican church music—but the occasion was also notable for another reason. Several of our own choir members stepped into new musical roles and showcased talents beyond their usual singing duties. Our Head Chorister conducted the introit, one of the back-row singers composed the psalm chant, and our Corner Chorister wrote the organ voluntary. It's wonderful to see so much creativity and musicianship flourishing within the choir. The final service of the year was followed by the all-important choir party: pizza and a screening of Sister Act. Judging by the enthusiastic reaction afterwards, there is now considerable demand for I Will Follow Him to appear in a future service. We make no promises—but do keep an eye on next year's music lists... The choir is now taking a well-earned summer break, but music certainly won't stop at SMR. Sunday morning Masses will continue with a cantor leading the music, and we're looking forward to welcoming several excellent visiting choirs over the coming weeks, including St Andrew's Backwell, St Mary's Ross-on-Wye, and the Handful Chamber Choir. Our regular choir returns on Sunday 13 September, refreshed, recharged, and ready for another exciting year of music. Have a wonderful summer, and thank you to all our choristers, families, volunteers, and supporters for another fantastic year.
