Dr John Sherer in Birmingham.

[Paul Carr]

Fourth Presbyterian Church on Michigan Avenue in Chicago is where Dr John W. W. Sherer has been the Organist and Director of Music since 1996 and where 2,000 people worship each Sunday.

USA Today recently picked Fourth Presbyterian Church as one of top ten places in America to be "enthralled by heavenly music." 

The church has a 126-rank Aeolian-Skinner organ and nine choirs and instrumental groups including The Morning Choir, a twenty-six voice professional ensemble and Tower Brass, a professional octet. Dr. Sherer manages an active concert series at the church with over eighty events each year.

The Morning Choir and Dr. Sherer were in the film 'My Best Friend's Wedding' the wedding being at The Fourth Presbyterian Church.

In addition to his work at Fourth Presbyterian Church he is a frequent guest conductor with the Chicago Chamber Orchestra, has done numerous lectures and clinics on church music and is a published author and composer.

Dr Sherer will be performing an all-American programme at St Chad's Cathedral Birmingham on Tuesday 21st June at 7.30pm. Tickets are £5/£3

Do come along. A chance to hear one of the finest instruments in the Midlands played by a top organist, and for just a fiver!

I heard John play at Wombourne last Tuesday - 'stunning' just about sums it all up!!

Come and hear for yourself!

Very best wishes,
Paul
