Organ Concert Online: Gordon Stewart introduces the series

Music lovers are being given the chance to enjoy classical music concerts at Huddersfield Town Hall from the comfort of their own home thanks to digital innovations. On 14 September at 1pm Gordon Stewart introduces the series and demonstrates the famous Father Willis organ. This will be the first of the fortnightly concerts starting with an introduction and demonstration of the famous instrument.

The project, funded by Kirklees Council’s Concert Series in partnership with the Lawrence Batley Theatre (LBT) and The University of Huddersfield, uses Facebook and Youtube to broadcast the popular lunchtime concerts to anyone, anywhere in the world, pleasing existing and creating new and wider audiences.

You will be able to watch the concerts at 1pm on the day by visiting either the LBT YouTube or Facebook pages. If you can’t tune in on the day you’ll be able to watch the following day via the LBT YouTube channel youtube.com/user/TheLBTHuddersfield.
