Lunchtime organ showcase by Peter King, Organist Emeritus of Bath Abbey, on the historic Hull City Hall organ.
Peter King is taking the organ at Hull City Hall for a lunchtime showcase on Wednesday 4 November, starting at 12:30. King is the Organist Emeritus of Bath Abbey, so he's coming up from the south west to spend the afternoon on one of the city's most distinctive instruments.
The whole thing is built around the organ itself, which was installed by the local firm Forster and Andrews back in 1911. It's a piece of Hull's own musical history, and over more than a century it's played for thousands of people, including Queen Elizabeth and King George VI. Today it's still one of the largest working organs in the country, and it's a regular part of the Hull Theatres programme.

Because it's a lunchtime session, it's an easy one to fit into the middle of the day rather than a full evening out. Tickets start from £5.00, so it's a low-cost way to hear the organ in full, with Peter King at the console. It runs from 12:30 on Wednesday 4 November at Hull City Hall.
