The details for the third season of concerts on two of the most stunning organs in West Yorkshire are now available. The series brings together guests from abroad with some of the country's most celebrated organists to entertain and delight audiences.

Leeds Cathedral's new organ is a full-bodied Romantic instrument, built on the Edwardian gravitas of the original 1904 instrument with a touch of magic provided in the reconstruction of 2010 by Klais of Bonn.
