Diocese of Leeds Organists’ Training Programme Masterclasses – venue change
Please note change of venue. Arrangements have now been made to use the organ in St Robert’s, Harrogate (Robert Street, Harrogate HG1 1HP), which is a fine two-manual Hill
(http://www.npor.org.uk/NPORView.html?RI=N02918). The church is under five minutes’ walk from the station, and there is plenty of on-street parking, or in the multi-storey car park.
If you require any further information or think that you might like to play in either of the classes, please contact David Pipe direct (contact details below). Places for players are still available and observers are encouraged to attend as well.
