Mon 26 January, Leeds Cathedral
George Herbert
George Herbert is a choral conductor, professional singer, and piano accompanist as well as a prize-winning and widely-recorded organist. He also plays jazz trumpet, an interest reflected today in his own arrangement of a piece by the Canadian trumpeter Kenny Wheeler.

Mon 19 January, Leeds Cathedral
Darius Battiwalla
Percy Whitlock’s Plymouth Suite was composed for an organists’ conference in 1939 and is one of his most popular works. Like Herbert Hollins’ Toccata, which closes the recital, it belongs firmly in the concert hall tradition of English organ music. Fela Sowande’s Kyrie is based on a Yoruba church melody, showing the influence of his time as organist of Kingsway Hall in London.
This concert is available to watch online until Wednesday 4 March.
Monday 22 November 2021, Leeds Cathedral
