St Paul’s Organ Recitals

St Paul’s Cathedral hosts a series of organ recitals by celebrity players this summer. The venue’s famous mobile organ console will be moved under the dome to give visitors a rare close-up view of the skills needed to play it, with each show offering a host of pieces over the course of an hour. St Paul’s Organist and Assistant Director of Music Simon Johnson plays this May, while versatile recitalist, chamber musician, teacher and recording artist Alan Morrison appears in June. Paris-based organist, Professor of Organ and prolific composer Eric Lebrun comes to the venue in July.
