Newcastle Museum's beautiful and somewhat mysterious pipe organ will come to life under the very accomplished hands of Mr. David Drury. With a string of national and international accolades to his name, David's performance will resonate in the high ceilings of the Link Gallery. David Drury is a renowned musician and current Organist-in-Residence at Christ Church Cathedral. He has been Director of Music at St Paul's College, University of Sydney since 1992.
