Christopher Terepin is a second year undergraduate reading music at Magdalen College, Oxford. He took up the cello aged 5, studying with Judith Barnby and later Lorraine Deacon through Berkshire Young Musicians’ Trust. He is a former member of NYOGB and ProCorda, and has attended festivals including Dartington International Summer School, Cadenza, and the Interna-tional Music Academy Plzen in the Czech Republic. Benjamin Sheen is currently the Senior Organ Scholar at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. Ben began his musical education as a chorister at St. Paul’s Cathedral, where he took up the organ aged 10. In 2003, Ben became the youngest person ever to give a recital in the cathedral’s Sunday evening series at the age of just 13. Ben was awarded a music scholarship to Eton College where he studied organ with Alastair Sampson and David Goode. Ben has per-formed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Nicholas Cleobury, and Duisburg Philharmonie with Jonathan Darlington.

Heberden Concert Series Charles Buller Heberden (14 December 1849 - 30 May 1921) was Principal of Brasenose 1889-1920 and also served as Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. A Classicist with a double first from Balliol, he was elected a Fellow at twenty-

two and Principal of Brasenose at forty. He attempted to raise academic standards in the College, and was much criticised for it by old members who had been at Brasenose in its great rowing days. He intended to retire in 1915, but was persuaded to remain during the difficult period of the war, finally resigning in June 1920 and dying only ten months later. He was a great lover of music and 'started music in College services, bearing the whole burden himself. He played first a harmonium some-where near the lectern, and then a small organ under the west win-dow.' In due course he paid for a new organ (built by Thomas Hill in 1893) and left money for an organ scholar in his will. In his lifetime he endowed a Scholarship for members of his old school (Harrow) and paid for the renewal of marble panelling and other decorations in the Chapel.
