Composer Sarah MacDonald has written a commissioned piece for International Women’s Day 2023, to be played at March Bradford Cathedral organ recital.

Sarah MacDonald MA FRCO ARSCM is the Director of Music at Selwyn College (Cambridge); University Organist at the University of Cambridge and the Director of the Girl Choristers at Ely Cathedral. 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.
