A piece of music commissioned by the Director of Music at Bradford Cathedral will make its debut on the 8th March date of the weekly Wednesday@One Organ Recitals.

Last year she was approached by Alexander Berry, Bradford Cathedral’s Director of Music, to create a special composition for International Women’s Day 2023, to be played on the visiting Wingfield Organ by Imogen Morgan of St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh. We caught up with Sarah ahead of this recital to find out more about the piece, and how it came about. You can read the full piece on the Bradford Cathedral website.
