Organs – St Joseph’s Bradford
The Hopkins Organ
The Bradford Boys’ Choir are the choir in residence at St Joseph’s Church in Bradford. The church organ was manufactured in the late 19th century by Hopkins & Son of York. It is widely regarded as the finest organ in the city centre, benefiting from mechanical key action and a superb case from an earlier Anneessens instrument.

We were thrilled to welcome @jamesmacm to Leeds Cathedral this evening, where we enjoyed his fascinating discussion with @Opera_North’s Richard Mantle. Fantastic singing from @DOLMusic Cathedral Girls and @ndcchoir beforehand, too!

We had a great morning running auditions for Bradford Catholic Youth Choir at St Bede's & St Joseph's Catholic College - over 70 pupils came to sing for us, and the standard was really high (most of the children had sung with our Choral Directors for two years in primary school). Fantastic to see such enthusiasm for singing!
Our CPD event, Developing your Work with Young Voices, is underway at Hinsley Hall with Dr. Jenevora Williams. Lots of learning about the voice, body and learning processes which we work with every day.
Well done to the Huddersfield Boys’, Girls’ and Youth choirs for such fantastic singing today on their live broadcast of Sunday Worship on BBC Radio 4.
Well done to all involved with the superb broadcast of Sunday Worship live on BBC Radio 4, with music led by our Huddersfield Boys', Girls' and Youth Choirs, together with children from Huddersfield and Halifax primary schools in the congregation - do listen again!
