Anthony Cairns
Anthony Cairns, MA, BMus, ARCM, has been organist and choirmaster at Christ Church, Leatherhead since 1965, and was consultant for organ rebuilds there in 1970 and 1995. He briefly studied piano teaching, cello, and choir training at the Royal College of Music and holds degrees in law (Cambridge, 1961) and music (London, 1977).
Anthony taught class music in Surrey secondary schools, becoming Head of Music at Esher College in 1977. He taught academic music and keyboard harmony at the Purcell School 1987-97. He was conductor of Leatherhead Choral Society 1991-2000, and formed the Leatherhead chamber choir AntiphoniA in 2007.
As an organist Anthony is largely self-taught, and particularly admires Peter Hurford and Olivier Latry. He is regarded as one of the friends of Leatherhead Parish Church's restored Thomas Parker organ, having given several recitals on the instrument, and played the Parker for the annual Service of Lessons and Carols for which Leatherhead's URC, Methodist and Anglican churches come together in the Parish Church.
