The Hiking Organist: Day 4 - St Mary's Priory, Malton - Alex woodrow

Experience an inspiring lunchtime recital as The Hiking Organist arrives at the historic St Mary's Priory Church in Old Malton during an extraordinary six-day, 104-mile musical pilgrimage across Yorkshire.

Alexander Woodrow, Organist of Leeds Minster, is walking from Leeds to Scarborough along the White Rose Way, giving six organ recitals in churches en route. This unique challenge is raising funds for the Leeds Minster Choral Scholarship Programme, helping to nurture the next generation of young musicians, while also supporting each church that welcomes the tour.

Enjoy a vibrant 50-minute programme showcasing some of the greatest works ever written for the organ, including J.S. Bach's famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, C.M. Widor's exhilarating Toccata from Symphonie V, together with music by S.S. Wesley, Mendelssohn and Vierne.

Whether you're a regular concertgoer, fascinated by historic churches, or simply looking for an uplifting lunchtime event, this recital offers a wonderful opportunity to experience outstanding live music in one of North Yorkshire's most beautiful and historic places of worship.

Admission is free, with a cash retiring collection shared equally between the Leeds Minster Choral Scholarship Programme and the mission and ministry of St Mary's Priory Church.

☕ Refreshments will be available after the recital.
