Our series of free Afternoon Recitals continues.  On 11th September we welcome back pianist Cristo Harijan to the Fratry Hall.  Commended for having ‘fluid virtuosity in combination with a mature and thoughtful musicality’ by local music critic William Byrne, Cristo Harijan is an aspiring British-American pianist based in the Northeast of England.

Join us on 16th October to hear the Julie Best and Jean Corrighan Accordion Duo.  Julie Best and Jean Corrighan met many years ago at The Ronmar School of Music in Carlisle and both achieved success as solo performers before forming a duo and becoming National Premier Duet Champions on 3 occasions.  They perform at many functions, events and Accordion Clubs playing a wide variety of music. Their repertoire includes popular, light classics, French, Italian, Scottish and many more to suit all tastes.

Finally, on 6th November, we welcome Eden Baroque- Michael Sanderson baritone, baroque violin & viola and Katharine May harpsichord.  Katharine and Michael established Eden Baroque shortly after moving to Cumbria in 2017 with the aim of bringing well-known and less performed baroque chamber music to as wide an audience as possible.

Entry to our afternoon concerts is free; there is a collection taken at the end of each concert – please give what you can to support the artists and the Cathedral.
