Arts
& Music
Welcome to our new Arts and Music
brochure. We aim to offer a
programme of music, art and spoken
word events that will appeal to a
wide range of tastes and interests as
well as enhancing the beautiful
building that is Bradford Cathedral.
Musical events this season include a
singing workshop with Iona musician
John Bell, Bradford Chorale’s spring
concert, the Cathedral Choir’s
summer concert and the opportunity
to ‘Come and Sing’ Evensong, as well
as our regular series of Tuesday
morning coffee concerts and
Bradford Council’s Friday evening
chamber music concerts. We are
delighted that the Cathedral Choir
will again be singing with the
European Chamber Orchestra on
7 Apri l , performing Haydn’s
St Nicholas Mass.
8 March is International Women’s
Day and Irene Lofthouse will be
reading the poetry and telling the
stories of women of the First World
War. We are very pleased to host, for
the third year, Bradford Literature
Festival’s closing Sacred Poetry event.
And this season we also launch a
series of Art and Theology lectures,
with Professor Ben Quash, the
Cathedral’s Canon Theologian, giving
the first lecture.
Our exh ib i t ion p rog ramme
promises to be a rich feast, with
Sarah McWhinney’s video installation
Rhythm o f the Da les , and
photographic exh ib i t ions by
Ian Beesley and our Head Verger
Jon Howard. Lisa Kilty gives us
spiritually inspired paintings, some
created especially for Bradford
Cathedral, and Sharon Snaylam offers
us her paintings of landscapes. Finally,
we welcome a pop-up exhibition
only three days long, of hand-made
knitted items in celebration of
St Bla ise , the Patron Saint
of Woolcombers.
I look forward to welcoming you to
Bradford Cathedral.

SARAH McWHINNEY: RHYTHM OF THE DALES
Sarah McWhinney is a final-year student at Glasgow School of Art. Her
installation explores the natural beauty of Yorkshire Karst limestone gorges
through moving image and sound.
The imagery of these films has been inspired by the underground systems
and caves which famously punctuate the landscape of Yorkshire, formed
over thousands of years by the movement of water. Sarah’s films reference
1930s experimental film techniques digitally enhanced and layered to
synchronise with cello music composed after weekends spent roaming the
Yorkshire Dales.
Opening on Sunday 12 February at 12noon, with live music, following the
morning service.

forty-two days in the wilderness.

PROFESSOR BEN QUASH:
CAN CONTEMPORARY ART BE DEVOTIONAL ART?
Ben Quash is Professor of Christianity and the Arts in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at King's College London, and Canon Theologian at Bradford
Cathedral. He launches our new series of lectures on Art and Theology.
As the Roman Catholic Church opens a pavilion at the Venice Biennale and many
Protestant traditions cast aside their traditional distrust of images and storm back
into the arena of contemporary visual art, a new set of critical categories may be
called for. To be valuable, these should probably be both aesthetic and theological.
What makes a work of art ‘work' in an ecclesial setting? And what ‘work' should
be expected of it anyway?
FREE event, with refreshments available from 6.30pm
2 June to 2 July
