Our summer season of Thursday Lunchtime organ recitals has begun!

Director of Music at York Minster,  Robert Sharpe got our 2014 organ concert series off to a great start with a stunning recital on Thursday 5 June with a varied programme which included music by former organists of York Minster as well as Bach’s famous Toccata and Fugue in d minor and the Carillon de Westminster by Louis Vierne.    If you missed that one we still have another eight concerts coming up !
