Drop in to learn about how the organ works and its history, take a tour of the pipes, and even step up to the keys to play! Whether you are an accomplished organist, an enthusiastic pianist, or a total beginner, come for this special opportunity to get up close to an incredible instrument.
Following the success of our "Play The Organ" event in summer 2025 as part of the Royal College of Organists initiative, we are delighted to offer a further chance to join us for an open morning.
Please feel free to come along to those sections of the morning that suit you - we will run multiple talks (at around 9:30am, 11am, and 12:30pm), with time slots interspersed to play the organ.
Please contact us if you would like to reserve a particular playing slot with your preferred time (slots will also be available on the day too, "while stocks last").
We are excited to be presenting a "showcase" concert with talented Southendian solo musicians and ensembles performing a wide range of styles and instruments, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
If you are interested in performing in this event, please do get in contact. Tickets are available to purchase now via TicketSource - book now and join us for this favourite and popular evening in our concert calendar.
SAVE THE DATE! Join us for an evening of music based on the theme of "dance" with renowned organist Stephen King. Organist Emeritus at Brentwood Cathedral, Stephen is celebrated far and wide, with special connections to music in Essex, including to the Southend Boys Choir and Southend Girls Choir.
