Experience the Majesty of the Organ This Autumn
Beginning in September, we are pleased to present an exceptional series of organ recitals, featuring some of the UK’s finest organists performing on the celebrated Father Willis organ.
This season promises a rich and varied repertoire, brought to life through the skill and artistry of our guest performers. Thanks to live video screens, audiences will enjoy a unique perspective from the organ loft — a rare opportunity to witness the intricacies of each performance.
Following the recitals, there will be an opportunity to meet the organists and learn more about their craft.
Throughout the series, listen for musical reflections on the Cathedral’s 2025 theme: Our Music; God’s Song — a celebration of music in our lives.
