Our annual ‘Try the Organ Day’ is the perfect opportunity for young musicians to have a go at playing the cathedral organ.

The day will be overseen by our Assistant Head of Music, Ashley Wagner and other professional organists – providing the perfect introduction to this beautiful instrument. With over 3,000 pipes, our organ is a powerful instrument, which is central to the worship and music of the cathedral.

Participants must be aged 8 – 18. While a background in playing the piano would be advantageous, there is no requirement for participants to have had formal lessons.

This event is free but booking is required.

To book a session (1030-1130, 1230-1330, 1430-1530) or for enquiry, please contact Ashley Wagner at ashley.wagner@birminghamcathedral.com
