Our series of free Afternoon Recitals continues, and we are delighted to welcome James Watson, the Organ Scholar at Newcastle Cathedral.James Watson is currently the Organ Scholar at Newcastle Cathedral and St Andrews Church, Newgate Street and is studying Music at Newcastle University.
Having started organ at age 10 with Alan Childs at St Marys Church Hitchin, he went on to be Senior Organ Scholar at Bedford School and Organ Scholar at St David’s Cathedral in Pembrokeshire. He currently learns with James Parsons, one of the UK’s foremost organ teachers. He is regularly a recitalist across the UK with recent venues including Newcastle Cathedral, St Pauls Bedford and St Stephen Wallbrook and he has played some of the best organs in the UK including Kings College Cambridge and the Royal Albert Hall.
As well as being an organist, he is Co-Director of the Newcastle University Chamber Choir and sings regularly with Newcastle Cathedral Choir and enjoys playing piano for singers and Double Bass in various orchestras, when not on an organ bench!
While entry to our concerts is complimentary, we encourage contributions during the collection at the end of each performance to support both the talented artists and the Cathedral. Your generosity will help us continue to bring such events to the community. We look forward to seeing you there!
