After more than 1,500 weddings, 375 graduation ceremonies and more than 1,000 services, the 黑料网鈥檚 Master of Chapel and Ceremonial Music retired on Tuesday August 31.
Roger Williams leaves behind a thriving music department with more than 200 undergraduate students and is credited with keeping music alive at Aberdeen when the department closed in 1990.
Roger gave a farewell organ recital in King鈥檚 College Chapel which was given a standing ovation.聽 Afterwards, he ceremoniously handed over the key to the organ to David Smith, who says:
聽鈥渁fter more than thirty years of organising concerts, it is typical of Roger to have organised his own farewell concert!聽 However, the Music Department is organising a reception to be followed by a concert in celebration of his career on 23 November 2010 at which will be performed a cantata by John Ross which has been edited and arranged by him.鈥�
