The free recitals take place every Wednesday at 1pm from the 4th September – 18th December (except 30th October)
The popular weekly free ‘Wednesday@One’ organ recitals will return to Bradford Cathedral after the summer break.
This season will feature a line-up of fifteen organists, starting with concert organist Gordon Stewart on Wednesday 4th September 2024.
The organ recitals begin at 1pm every Wednesday and are preceded by an optional £4 buffet lunch at 12:30pm.
The organ recitals are free to attend, though donations are welcome. The recitals last around 45 minutes and those attending are also welcome to explore the Cathedral before and after the recital.
Graham Thorpe, Director of Music at Bradford Cathedral, says:
“We’re really looking forward to the return of our Wednesday@One organ recitals. As ever, we have a superb line up of organists, some old friends, and some who have never been before. The theme this term is the Town Hall Organ, exploring sacred and secular music.
“As always, doors open at 12:30 for the famous buffet lunch at only £4, followed by the recital at 1pm. Do join us, and spread the word!”
You can also read an interview with each organist, on the Bradford Cathedral website, in the week leading up to their recital.
