Cello pilgrim to perform special Meditation at Bradford Cathedral
A cellist will perform at Bradford Cathedral as part of a 2,000-mile pilgrimage. Kenneth Wilson, 66, has set himself the task of cycling to all 42 Anglican cathedrals in England - in 40 of which he will give a performance of his specially-written 'Meditation on the Seven Last Words.' The Meditation combines Mr Wilson's short poems with Bach's solo cello music, and is an evocation of Jesus's last hours on the cross. Mr Wilson said: "It's more than a religious work, though. "The Meditation offers music and poetry that has meaning well beyond that. "Even if you've never been in a cathedral before, I hope the meditation – as well as the journey – will speak to you." The 'Pilgrim Cello' pilgrimage will begin on May 18, and Mr Wilson will perform at Bradford Cathedral on Friday, May 23, at 3pm. On his journey, Mr Wilson will also be carrying with him seven paintings by abstract artist Gillian Lever, which illustrate the Seven Last Words. Entry to the Bradford Cathedral performance is free, with a retiring collection, and interest can be expressed at More information about the wider tour is available at
