Interstellar with Roger Sayer - 28th November 2026

Carshalton Methodist Church, Ruskin Road, SM5 3DE

We are hosting a special concert on Saturday 28 November when acclaimed organist Roger Sayer (https://www.rogersayer.org/) will be performing his unique Interstellar concert. If you think this would be of interest to your members I’d be most grateful if you would consider sharing the details with them.  

The event is being held to celebrate 100 years since our church building opened and our organ began playing. The organ is listed on the National Pipe Organ Register – index number N13417 gives the specification of the 1926 instrument and the current specification is listed under K00638.

As you may know, Roger Sayer, former Organist and Director of Music at Temple Church in London, was chosen by Hans Zimmer for his soundtrack to Christopher Nolan’s film Interstellar.

The evening’s programme will major on the ground-breaking Interstellar score, recorded for the movie by Roger himself, and will include a short film about the collaboration between Roger, Zimmer and Nolan to create one of cinema’s most unforgettable soundscapes. There’ll be an opportunity to ask Roger questions in a Q&A session.

As part of the space theme, during the day running up to the performance we will have a pop-up planetarium in the church, with 30-minute shows throughout the day.

Details of the concert and planetarium and how to book tickets (£20 concert, £5 planetarium, no booking fees) are at carshalton-methodist.org/events/interstellar&planetarium
