Our Summer Organ Festival runs from May to September with some incredible musicians joining us at St Edmundsbury Cathedral. Recitals begin at 5.00 pm.

Our final event is Sunday 21 September when Victoria Ulriksen joins us. Following her debut recital aged just 15 at Oslo Cathedral, Victoria Ulriksen has won numerous prizes both at home and abroad. Programme coming soon!

Victoria Ulriksen studies organ in her bachelor’s degree at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Leipzig with professor dr. Martin Schmeding, in parallel with church music in her bachelor’s degree at the Norwegian Academy of Music with professor Kåre Nordstoga. She also studies fortepiano and modern piano with professor emerita Liv Glaser.

She has received prizes in competitions both at home and abroad, including 1st prize in the final of the Youth Music Championship and the audience prize in the International Maria Hofer Orgelwettbewerb 2023. She has received support and scholarships from Drømmestipendet, Tom Wilhelmsens Foundation and Fegerstens Foundation.

Victoria gave her debut recital at age 15 in Oslo Cathedral, and abroad in 2023 on Scandinavia’s only Cavaillé-Coll organ in Copenhagen. She has later played recitals in Nidaros Cathedral, Fraumünster Zürich, Uppsala Cathedral, Haderslev Cathedral, Westerkerk Amsterdam and Hasselt Cathedral. Her tour in England last year consisted of concerts in Blackburn Cathedral and Truro Cathedral among others, and this year’s tours consist of over 15 cathedrals such as Norwich, Chester, Southwark, as well as Handel House London and Westminster Abbey.

Victoria has played at a number of festivals such as the Oslo International Church Music Festival, Bergen International Organ Festival, Nordic Church Music Festival, and was chosen by Olivier Latry to play at the International Organ Festival Haarlem on the famous organ in St. Bavo last summer. She has also opened the Salzburg Festival four times.

In 2025, she will play over 50 solo recitals, hence at international and prestigious festivals in Trieste Cathedral, Fraumünster Zürich, Västerås Cathedral, St. Chad’s Cathedral during their live-streamed “Thursday Live Plus!”, and at the International Organ Summer Karlsruhe. She is already booked for many festivals in 2026, such as the exclusive “OrgelGlanzLichter” in Iserlohn.
