Ophelia Amar is a French-British musician based in London and is an active performer both in France and the UK. A recent graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, where she won several prizes, she has performed recently at King’s College Cambridge, St George’s Hanover Square, and St Albans Cathedral. Her programme reflects her interest in music from the early to mid-20th century, finishing with one of the most popular organ works of the 19th, Franz Liszt’s showpiece homage to Johann Sebastian Bach.

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!
