Try (!!note the backquote at the beginning  and the comma before the concat form!!):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-capture-templates
 `(
   ...
   ("T"   "TODO to be logged in notes.org"    
    entry   (file+headline ,(concat org-directory "/notes.org") "Tasks")        
    "* TODO [#D] \n%i \n:PROPERTIES: \n:END: \n%? \n%a")
   ...))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
