Christmas Sparkle!
Celebrate the start of the Christmas season by listening to a beautiful concert of seasonal organ music by Hereford Cathedral’s Peter Dyke. Played on the historic Willis organ this festive offering has become a traditional part of the Christmas schedule at the cathedral with many people eagerly anticipating the announcement of the programme!
Peter Dyke commented on his selection this year “Some of the classic Christmas tunes, such as Sleigh Ride don’t often get heard live in the cathedral, but the great Willis organ is superbly suited to this lighter style. Of course, there will be some loud and dramatic moments too, reflecting the full strength of the instrument. Everyone is welcome to this curtain-raiser for the Advent and Christmas season!”
You will be able to watch Peter playing up in the loft as there will be live projection onto a big screen set up in the Nave. The recital is due to start at 1.15pm on Saturday 3rd December. The event is free but there will be a collection as you leave the cathedral in aid of the Hereford Cathedral Perpetual Trust, which supports the cathedral’s choral foundation and restoration projects.
