David Stout will perform at Gloucester Cathedral on July 25, 2026. Stout is a British pianist and composer known for his neo-romantic style, often incorporating elements of jazz harmony and minimalist repetition within classically structured forms. His compositions frequently feature evocative melodies and a focus on creating atmospheric soundscapes. He has received commissions from various ensembles and performers, and his work is increasingly recognised internationally.

Gloucester Cathedral’s history extends over 1300 years, originating as a Benedictine abbey founded in 678/9. The current building largely dates from the Norman period onwards, with significant rebuilding occurring between 1089 and 1519. It is renowned for its particularly impressive Gothic architecture, including a magnificent fan vaulted ceiling in the cloisters – one of the earliest examples of such work – and its large Perpendicular Gothic window. The cathedral has served as a filming location for several major motion pictures, notably the Harry Potter series, leveraging its dramatic interior spaces. Throughout its history it has been a site of religious significance and continues to function as an active place of worship alongside being a prominent historical monument and visitor attraction.
