Rachel Mahon will assume the music directorship of Coventry Cathedral in September 2020.
Today's Coventry Cathedral was built amid the ruins of the original 14th-century Gothic structure, which was bombed by the German Luftwaffe during World War II.

"I love working with children — that's a big part of the job.

If the organ is playing on full, it rumbles, you can feel the floor shaking.
