William began his musical education as a chorister at York Minster. After becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists as a teenager, he was organ scholar and a prizewinning academic scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford. Before taking up his current post at St Albans, he spent six years at St Paul’s Cathedral, first as Sub Organist and then as Assistant Director of Music. His programme starts with three chorale-based works and concludes with one of the greatest plainsong-based organ pieces, Maurice Duruflé’s Veni Creator.

William Fox is Director of Music at St Alban’s Cathedral.

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!
