Worship was led by Fr Paul Moores, with Deacon Joseph Cortis. Leeds Cathedral Senior Choir was conducted by Thomas Leech. The organist was Darius Battiwalla.
Many thanks also to Ben, Liam and John from the BBC for their musical and technical expertise; to the quartet of instrumentalists who played for the broadcast; to all our music directors who work with the young singers in our choirs; to Louise and Callum from Diocese of Leeds Music for their organising skills – and to all parents and chaperones … these are just a few of the many appreciative online comments from listeners … :
‘…thank you for a superb broadcast of Choral Vespers to celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph. What glorious sounds! This took me back to pre-Vatican Two days. It was a marvellous reminder of the magnificent musical tradition of the Church.’
‘Leeds has an impressive choral set up…’
‘Simply stunning!’
