Organs – St Patrick’s Huddersfield
The Skrabl Organ
St Patrick’s Church is home to the Huddersfield Boys’ and Huddersfield Girls’ Choirs. The new organ, regarded as one of the finest classical instruments in Britain, was built in the workshops of Anton Skrabl in Slovenia and is located in the west end gallery. The stop and key action is entirely mechanical, the case of oak, and keys and inlay of bone and ebony. The project was completed under the supervision of Benjamin Saunders and John Rowntree. The inaugural concert was given on the 1st December 2009 by Benjamin Saunders.
An Organ Scholarship is available in conjunction with the University of Huddersfield.

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!
