Gloucester Cathedral Organ Festival: Organ Recital with Wayne Marshall
Saturday 18th July, 7:00pm
The Gloucester Cathedral Organ Festival has been rescheduled to give our newly installed organ additional time after its completion to settle, undergo final tuning and refinement ahead of its celebration. This will ensure performers and partners can get to know the instrument - and that audiences experience it at its very best. We’re pleased that most of the originally planned artists and partners will still be taking part.
