Sheffield Cathedral is delighted to launch the very first South Yorkshire Organ Festival this Summer half-term from 30 May to 2 June.

Sheffield is well-known for its music. The city is the home to the Artic Monkeys, Pulp, Def Leopard and Richard Hawley and has iconic music venues and events like The Leadmill and Tramlines Festival. However, Sheffield’s musical heritage extends beyond just living memory: South Yorkshire, and Sheffield in particular, can also boast to have many fine examples of the oldest and most complex musical instrument in the world, the organ.

James says, “During the festival there will be workshops and masterclasses, including the chance to play both a cathedral organ and one of the largest Compton cinema organs in the UK. I want to shine a light on these incredible instruments which are rarely given the spotlight they deserve and inspire the next generation of organists and organ enthusiasts.” The festival will end with a performance of music from the film Interstellar by organist Roger Sayer.
