About this event

Lunch time organ recital with Union Chapel's teenage organ students. The organ at Union Chapel was designed & built specially for the size and acoustics of the new Chapel building in 1877 by master organ builder Henry 'Father' Willis. It is one of very few organs left in the UK with a fully working water hydraulics and is undoubtedly one of the finest organs in the world. Since its full restoration in 2012 Union Chapel has been committed to introducing different age groups & different skill levels to the instrument as they endeavour to create a smooth & supported path from childhood to professional organ performance and composition of all genres. Learn more about our innovative organ education programme here. Feel free to come before the recital for a self-guided tour of our chapel, with Children's Activity Pack available for curious minds to discover more.
