Adopt a Stop!
The Cathedral is host to a vibrant music community – enriching worship and inspiring people. We have recently undertaken a huge project to install a new Grand Organ in the Quire. You can still Adopt a Stop in the organ – a lovely way to remember someone special, or as an enduring treat for yourself. Find out more here.
The Cathedral’s organ sits at the heart of our music, supporting all who sing here and inspiring all who journey here. From 2020, the refurbished instrument will have a new, relocated console, with four manuals and 89 stops giving voice to over 6,000 pipes. The stops (ranks of pipes) allow a kaleidoscope of sounds to shine through. Each pipe, from the smallest to the largest will add to this wonderful instrument, enhancing the voices of all who sing within these walls.
You can make a lasting link with Canterbury Cathedral with a gift towards the transformation of this Great Organ. We will honour your generosity with:
- A certificate signed by The Dean of Canterbury
- Recognition in a new dedicated Book of Donors
- An invitation to a concert for the new organ in Summer 2020
You can sponsor a pipe, selection of pipes or a stop of the organ at a range of levels; from £50 for pipes in smaller stops to £10,000 to help reinstate the 32ft pipes removed in the 1970s.
“Having known this organ for such a long time it will be sad to say goodbye to a good old friend but I am looking forward to its return in its newly refurbished form. It is a very exciting project.”
Dr David Flood, Cathedral Organist and Master of Choristers
