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.

This May, as for the last 11 years, St Lawrence Jewry will be home to a most unusual festival of organ playing, featuring the most brilliant young players of the moment.  Each year there have been quite breathtaking programmes and 2016 will be no exception, with the music of Cesar Franck being a common thread this year.   This is the only Young Artists programme for organists in the UK so it is a very special series, enthusiastically supported by the family of the late John Hill.

Please join us for one or more of our May 2016 performances.

Admission is free.
