Leeds International Organ Festival brings some of the world’s finest players to the city, performing on Leeds Cathedral’s fine four-manual Klais organ in the lunchtime recital series, and leading classes for some of the young pupils in the Organists’ Training Programme in the local area.
This year, a particular highlight will be the renewed composer Sir James MacMillan in conversation with Richard Mantle OBE, General Director of Opera North on Tuesday 11th June 2019 in Leeds Cathedral.
Between 13th May and 10th July 2019, organists young and old will have the opportunity to hear, meet and perform alongside renowned international concert organists who will join the local resident teams.

I have had a passion for church organs since the tender age of 12. I own and run Viscount Organs with a close attention to the detail that musicians appreciate; and a clear understanding of the benefits of digital technology and keeping to the traditional and emotional elements of organ playing.
