Organ recitals 2025

Organ recitals at Central: 

(from Philip)

I am delighted to welcome organists from local churches as well as much further afield for our annual organ recital series.

I am very grateful to Tim Jones for coming all the way from St Denys, Walmgate to start us off on Thursday 15 May at 12:30. Tim was born and raised in Chester, and was organ scholar at Pembroke College, Oxford.

On Thursday 29 May it will be great to hear Dr Richard Fenwick. He was Bishop of St Helena, and before that Dean of Newport Cathedral. His time at university included studying music as well as theology and he is very fine organist.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Philip

York Resident’s Festival 2023

We’ll be open to visit this Saturday 28th January 2023 from 11:00 to 16:00 for York Resident’s weekend.

This Grade II* listed building, built in 1840, is one of the few chapels of it’s period still intact. See the horseshoe shaped interior with gallery and box pews, and listen to the organ, one of the finest in York.

All are welcome, no need to book or bring a YorkCard.
