We’re excited to announce the return of our Celebrity Organ Recitals!

Recitals will begin on  17 July where we’ll welcome musicians from around the country to play some magnificent music on the Cathedral’s Harrison and Harrison organ.

Our organ has four manuals and 59 speaking stops, with over 3,500 pipes. The deepest pipes are 32 feet in length, while those that produce the highest sounds are a fraction of an inch in diameter. The majority of the pipework was new in 2010 when it was built, although some material from previous instruments was retained after thorough overhaul, cleaning, and re-voicing.

Musicians we’ll be welcoming to play on this amazing instrument are:

17 July
David Flood
Formerly Director of Music, Canterbury Cathedral

24 July
Richard Cook
Assistant Director of Music, St Edmundsbury Cathedral

14 August
Peter King
Concert Organist

21 August
Francesca Massey
Concert Organist

11 September
Timothy Parsons
Director of Music, St Edmundsbury Cathedral

Recitals start at 5.00 pm and no pre-booking is required. Admission is free and there will be a retiring collection.
