About This Event

Newcastle Cathedral continues its weekly series of free organ recitals, held every Monday at 1:05pm, offering a welcome midday pause within the historic nave. The programme, performed by a rotation of visiting and local organists, exploits the full dynamic range of the cathedral’s Lewis, Harrison and Nicholson instrument—shifting from hushed, meditative passages to full-throated chords that resound through the stone vault. The medieval building’s acoustic lends each note a resonant depth, enveloping the listener in sound that seems to linger long after the final key has been released. These recitals are free to attend, with a retiring collection inviting a suggested donation of five pounds to support the music programme.

The recitals take place in the cathedral’s nave at 1:05pm each Monday. The Lewis, Harrison and Nicholson organ is played by a rotating roster of visiting and local organists, drawing on their own repertoire and the instrument’s full dynamic range. The medieval stone fabric of the building shapes the sound, giving each note a resonant depth that fills the space.

Entry is free, with a retiring collection taken after the performance. A suggested donation of five pounds supports the cathedral’s music programme.
