Programme

Nadia Boulanger Three pieces
Kenny Wheeler Sweet Time Suite, Part I: Opening
Julius Reubke Organ Sonata in C minor (The 94th Psalm)

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. The final piece in the programme, the dark and dramatic Sonata on the 94th Psalm, is one of the most significant organ works of the 19th century.

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!
