Alexander Woodrow is a distinguished recitalist who has broadcast regularly on BBC radio and television. Before taking up the post of Director of Music at Leeds Minster in 2020, he worked at the cathedrals of Guildford, St Albans, and Bradford. It’s a particular pleasure to hear him include a piece by his predecessor at Leeds Minster and long-standing Leeds City Organist, the late Dr Simon Lindley.

Alexander Woodrow is Organist and Director of Music at Leeds Minster. 

About the series

A very warm welcome to the 2025/26 Leeds Lunchtime Organ Music series. This is the fifth series kindly hosted by Leeds Cathedral. We’re hugely grateful to them for all their help, support and warm welcome over the last few years.

Our 2025/26 series welcomes recitalists from the USA, Norway, and France, as well as superb musicians from our own minster and cathedral here in Leeds. Repertoire highlights include landmark pieces by Franz Liszt and Maurice Duruflé, alongside much lighter music and jazzinfluenced pieces too.

We value your support enormously, both as enthusiastic audience members and through your donations, which play a huge part in supporting this series. Help us spread the word and keep live music accessible to everyone!
