Every Friday during this year’s Jesmond Community Festival will feature a lunchtime performance on the magnificent organ of St George’s Church. The recitals will start at 1:00 pm and are free, but with a retiring collection in aid of the Organ Restoration Fund.
The guest organist on 12 May will be Daniel Cook, Durham Cathedral, 19 May will feature Tim Harper, Ripon Cathedral, 26 May Paul Ritchie, Newcastle, and 2 June Tamsin Brown, Carlisle.
Outside the Festival period you can also enjoy Drew Cantrill-Fenwick on 5 May, and other guest organists throughout June and July, ending on 21 July with Drew (again!).
