Darius Battiwalla Masterclass – Leeds Town Hall

On 2nd December, Darius Battiwalla is holding a masterclass exploring 19th C (and onwards) Organ works.  Leeds Town Hall runs one of the country’s most successful recital series. This class is a chance to work on concert repertoire from the 19th century onwards with Darius Battiwalla, the new Leeds City Organist.

Bring a piece of 19th-century repertoire. Players of any level of attainment are welcome as long as the piece they are playing is at an advanced stage of preparation; however, players who are able to make full use of this large instrument will derive the most benefit from the masterclass.

Fee: £45 (RCO Members); £51 (non-members). Observer places may be available.

Further information can be found on: http://www.dariusbattiwalla.com/

To book, please see the RCO website: https://www.rco.org.uk/events.php?eventid=513
