Dr. Carol Williams appointed Hull City Hall Organist

Posted: Wednesday 29th July

Dr. Carol Williams has been appointed Hull City Hall Organist, where she follows in the footsteps of John Scott Whiteley.

This is Carole's second position as a Civic Organist - the first having been San Diego Civic Organist, where she is now honoured to be San Diego Civic Organist Emerita.

Hull City Hall posseses the third largest concert hall organ in the UK and was originally built in 1911 by Forster and Andrews.  The hall was designed by Jospeh H. Hirst and constructed between 1903 and 1909.  The venue seats 1,200 people and is one of the busiest concert venues in the UK.

Carol’s position will involve expanding the already well established Organ Showcase Series.  In Carol’s words “the organ is magnificent and the acoustics sublime!”  She is delighted to be a part of this great musical heritage.
