Online Lunchtime Organ Concert

Classical music concerts from Huddersfield Town Hall.

Much-loved Kirklees Borough Organist Gordon Stewart will play the 1860 Father Willis Organ during a series of six fortnightly concerts on Mondays at 1pm with an array of music from composers including Handel, Bach, Carter and Mendelssohn and ending with a final Christmas concert in December. Each concert will last around an hour. If you can’t tune in on the day you’ll be able to watch the following day via the YouTube channel.

This week. Bach’s Cantata 80 is based on Luther’s chorale, Ein’ feste Burg ist unser Gott. The final movement, one of Bach’s most complex, features chorus, brass and strings. It has been arranged by the American composer Gerald Near as an organ solo; this will be its Huddersfield premiere.

You can see Gordon Stewart introduce the season and the organ here.
