Experience history in the making as our magnificent organ sings again after a two-year restoration!
Join us for an exclusive evening with Andrew Scott, Managing Director of Harrison & Harrison, as he unveils the intricate process of voicing—where each of the organ’s 3,855 pipes is finely tuned to create its unique sound. Discover the intricate process behind shaping the organ’s voice, hear individual pipes come to life, and enjoy the exclusive opportunity to be one of the first people to hear the organ being played since 2023. Mark Lee, Director of Music at Bristol Cathedral will use the pipes that have already been voiced to play the historic organ – expect lots of Byrd!
Expect an evening of history, craftsmanship, and extraordinary music as we celebrate the revival of this iconic instrument.
Doors open at 6.15pm
A bar selling light refreshments will be available – please bring a card or exact change.
