is set to light up Leeds Cathedral on Monday, September 23, 2024, at 1:15 PM as part of the Leeds Lunchtime Organ Music 2024/25 series. If you thought this was going to be all stuffy organ music, think again. Graham will be rolling out a delightful mix of tunes that might even have you tapping your toes in the pews. You'll get to enjoy gems like Cécile Chaminade's Prélude, Op 78, alongside Mons Leidvin Takle's cheeky Three Pieces. Just wait until you hear Herbert Howells' Psalm Prelude – it might even tug at those heartstrings. And for a dash of charm, check out Albert Ketèlbey's Sanctuary of the Heart, expertly arranged by Robert Gower, finishing off with the rousing Alexandre Guilmant's Sonata I: Final.

As the Director of Music at Bradford Cathedral, Graham's got the skills to keep things lively for the full 50 minutes. This concert promises a blend of music that's easy on the ears but still packs enough punch to impress the organ enthusiasts in the audience. Whether you're a regular at church concerts or just someone seeking a pleasant slice of afternoon entertainment, this performance is sure to hit the spot. Just remember to show up on time; you wouldn't want to miss any of this delightful musical adventure.
