We are delighted to announce our new Organ Recital Series beginning this September at Newcastle Cathedral.
We continue our tradition of offering guests a unique, and free, opportunity to hear beautiful music in tranquil surroundings. Our free organ recitals take place on Mondays, starting at 1.05pm, and last approximately 45 minutes.
Our series begins on Monday 11 September and features Henry Websdale from King’s College Cambridge.
Henry is currently an organ scholar at King’s College, Cambridge. As organ scholar, Henry has recorded and broadcast numerous events, including playing for the iconic ‘Carols from King’s’ at Christmas. Henry, who comes from Yorkshire, started his training at Bradford Cathedral, and then at Winchester College as a music scholar. During his school years, he passed both his ARCO and FRCO diplomas by the age of sixteen. Henry was then organ scholar at Salisbury Cathedral during his gap year before taking up his post at King’s.
Our 11 September organ recital will have a screen placed in the nave, so those at the concert will be able to watch Henry play, as well as hear him.
Other lunchtime organ recitals throughout September 2017 feature the following guests:
18th September – Michael Haynes, Hexham Abbey
25th September (Organ and Friends) – Alastair Lord and Kris Thomsett (Trumpet and Organ Recital)
Admission is free to all; there is a retiring collection following the recital to help defray costs. Suggested donation £5.
Early risers will be in good company for our simple service of Morning Prayer every weekday! Join us at 7:30am for a half-hour of prayer and scripture readings in St George’s Chapel followed by Holy Communion at 8:00am, Monday-Friday. All welcome.
Join us for Choral Evensong, led by the Cathedral Choir (or occasionally, a visiting Choir).
A much loved service in the traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer, with a beautiful choral setting, psalms, canticles, anthem, and congregational hymns.
Please come and sit in the Quire (the seats nearest the High Altar) where the service sheets and hymn books may be found – or if you prefer simply to listen, you are very welcome to sit in the pews.
Join us at 5:30pm for half an hour of prayer and scripture readings in St George’s Chapel, off the North (left hand) Aisle of the Cathedral. All welcome.
