The Organ

Music has been at the heart and soul of Charterhouse and our community for over 400 years. The sense of family and togetherness that our pupils experience in our beautiful Memorial Chapel is added too greatly by the wonderful sea of voices when signing hymns.

The organ is a vital companion to our pupils and Chapel, providing a heartbeat and rhythm to daily life at School.

As with all great things, the lifecycle of our current organ, which has served Charterhouse so well since the Chapel was built in 1927, has come to an end.

For number of years we have struggled with growing challenges but we have now reached the point where the organ is beyond repair and must be replaced by a new instrument which will be central to our community for the next 100 years.

We are delighted to be working with Nicholson & Co. Ltd who have understood our vision for the instrument. One which supports the choral and congregational singing that is so intrinsic to the life of the School, and which inspires the teaching and performance of new generations of organists with the versatility to tackle a very wide range of repertoire.

We look forward to sharing more about our plans for the new organ as we prepare for the new one to be ready in time for the Memorial Chapel's centenary in 2027.
