Join us for a memorable evening celebrating the remarkable sound of the restored organ in the Chapel of St Peter and St Paul.

Following its careful restoration, the magnificent 235-year-old organ continues to resonate once more within the Chapel, brought back to life thanks to the generosity of our supporters. This concert offers a special opportunity to experience its rich and powerful sound in this historic setting.

Originally installed in 1789 by Samuel Green, the King’s organ maker, the instrument is thought to be the largest of Green’s organs still in its original position. It is widely recognised by musicologists and historians for its exceptional historical and musical significance.

Music will be performed by the Chapel Choir of Trinity Laban, with Alexander Knight at the organ.

The Queen Mary Undercroft Bar will be open during the interval, with drinks available to purchase.

All profits from this event support the charitable work of the Old Royal Naval College, helping us to preserve and protect our historic site, including projects such as the restoration of this organ.

This concert has been made possible thanks to philanthropic support.
