Thank you for the correction - hope the Leeds musical community will forgive the error and find their way to the cathedral for launch of @RedViolinFest on 14/10. Other venues for festival events include @leedslibraries for this talk 18/10. @WhatsOnLeeds
@yaniewicz @RedViolinFest @MichaelBerkele2 @MadeleineM_Vln @leedslibraries @violinist @UoLConcerts @iofestival Although that's definitely a picture of Leeds Minster, not the cathedral. visit @DOLMusic for more about the cathedral's music (and some photos of the actual building).
