NPOA Peterborough Summer Organ Recital Series

Wednesday, 8 July 2026 at 1.00pm

NPOA is delighted to sponsor the Peterborough Cathedral
Summer Organ Recitals Series for a third year.

The series is curated by our President-elect, Peterborough’s Director of
Music, Chris Strange, who will be playing the next recital
which takes place at the cathedral at 1pm on Wednesday 8th
July. The final recital of the series will welcome Ashley
Wagner of Birmingham Cathedral on Wednesday 15th July,
again at 1pm—Ashley’s planned recital date in June was
scuppered by the heat, with Assistant DoM Will Campbell
ably stepping in. Do come along and support Chris, Will
and the cathedral music team as NPOA continues to bring
performances from world-class musicians to our area.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE POSTER BELOW SHOWS THE RECITALIST on 15th JULY AS WILL CAMPBELL,

BUT IT WILL NOW BE ASHLEY WAGNER OF BIRMINGHAM CATHEDRAL AS EXPLAINED ABOVE.


Three Village Organs Denton, Grendon and Bozeat

Saturday, 18 July 2026 at 10.30am


A visit to three interesting organs - the Bishop & Son at Grendon at 10.30, the
important Roger Yates at Bozeat at 12 noon and the historic
Jonathan Austin organ at Denton at 3pm. The Bozeat Yates
organ features in the current edition of IAO Organists’ Review.
At Bozeat, we will be able to play as the church welcomes
visitors to the village Open Gardens event - a fabulous
opportunity to bring organ music to a new audience - in
return for which members can enjoy a complimentary light
lunch in the church. Fuller details will be circulated to
members. Do come along - it would be helpful (but not
essential) if you could let Richard know if you are coming by
