Doncaster Minster Organ Recital

Doncaster Minster organ recital series continues

Doncaster is fortunate to have such a fine instrument in the ‘mighty Schultze organ’ and everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy these lunchtime recitals by gifted musicians.

Matthew Collins, Howden

Matthew studied the organ with Christopher Gray (Truro Cathedral) and Roger Tebbet (Selby Abbey) and was appointed Director of Music at Howden Minster in 2009. Oratorio credits as director or accompanist include Handel’s Messiah, Stabat Mater (Poulenc), Requiem (Fauré, Duruflé and Rutter) and Petite Messe Solennelle (Rossini). In addition to his church and choral work, Matthew is Head of Music at the De Costa Academy of Singing, York. His recital will include works by Bach, Guilain, Franck and Doncaster’s own - Vernon Hoyle.

These recitals are a wonderful way to pass an hour in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and all funds raised go towards to tuition of the Minster organ scholars. So do come along! You can be sure of a warm welcome.

Friday 24 March – 1.10pm, free entry with retiring collection
