We look forward to welcoming organist Igor Sikorski from Ukraine, on Wednesday 13 August, for an Organ Recital organised as part of the Free Live Music Series at Carlisle Cathedral.
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!
