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.

Final rehearsal underway at Gabrieli ROAR in the amazing Ely Cathedral. The young singers - including 31 of our choir members - have worked so hard this week and the results are sounding incredible.
The Choirs of Leeds Cathedral![]()

It is our privilege to provide music at Leeds Cathedral, something we wish to share with as many local Catholic children as possible. We run 7 free choirs at the Cathedral, all singing regularly for Masses, Vespers or other Liturgies.![]()

Cathedral Children's Choir- our smallest singers aged 5-8 learn about music and faith in a fun and engaging way with regular opportunities to sing for Liturgy and be inspired by the older choristers.![]()

Cathedral Junior Boys and Junior Girls Choirs- children aged 7-11 can join our Junior choirs. Despite their young age they frequently take on responsibility for singing Mass as well as joining their older counterparts for joint events. (picture from their trip to Liverpool)![]()

Cathedral Senior Girls Choir- girls aged 10-18 sing with the Senior Girls Choir, singing multiple liturgies each week and taking a leading role in many concerts and broadcasts.![]()

Cathedral Senior Boys Choir- from age 8 until voice change boys sing treble with the Senior Boys Choir. We're particularly fortunate to have a thriving boys choir who sing several services a week and lead concerts and broadcasts alongside the Senior Girls.![]()

Schools Scholars- in contrast to many Cathedral choirs, our boys' choral journey doesn't end at voice change. All boys are encouraged to keep singing with the Schools Scholars, who provide the lower voices in our mixed choirs.![]()
