Create Music's Youth String Ensemble is delighted to be performing in St Mary's Church for the first time this autumn. St Mary's Church is an inclusive and welcoming church situated in a vibrant and diverse part of Brighton. It is also said to be one of Brighton’s architectural glories. Affectionately known as the ‘Cathedral of Kemp Town’, it was built in 1876-8 to designs by Sir William Emerson, architect of the Victoria Memorial in Calcutta (Kolkata). The modest brick exterior hides an interior of surprising volume and warmth, which reflects Emerson’s training under William Burges, the great Gothic Revivalist, but also the Indo-Islamic and Classical influences of a career spent largely in India, where he became an exponent of architectural hybridity.

The church also has a fine Bevington pipe organ, which is used for recitals well as Sunday worship.
