  Robert Ampt has just retired after 44 years as the Sydney City Organist, where he was the creator of Sydney’s biggest annual Lessons and Carols service—Christmas at the Sydney Town Hall. He is also the organist and choir trainer for the annual Music of J.S. Bach and Readings for Good Friday at St Finbar’s Catholic Church, Glenbrook.
