About The Gloucester Organ: A New Era

Credit: James O'Driscoll

The organ in Gloucester Cathedral is at once the oldest and newest in the country. What you see dates from the seventeenth century; what you hear dates from today. Paul Hale, who has advised on the organ project and written a new book about the Gloucester organ, has prepared a fascinating talk liberally illustrated with images of the organ throughout its exceptionally long life. Learn about the sometimes-controversial story of this wonderful instrument and enjoy photographs never seen before, showing just what is inside those beautiful historic organ cases.
