Organ Scholarships
A young organist puts the instrument through its paces at an organ taster day.
The Organ Scholarship is part of The St Thomas’ Organ Rebuild and Musical Outreach Project. During 2022, the organ was dismantled, mended, cleaned and completely rebuilt by early 2023. Now we have started the second phase of the project – Musical Outreach. An important element of this outreach is encouraging a new generation of young organists. As part of this aim, we a delighted to announce that we are introducing a St Thomas’ Organ Scholarship. The scholarship will be for 12 months and will normally run from 1st September to 31st August the following year.
The Organ Scholarship will be tailored to the successful applicant. The main purpose of the scholarship is to develop skills in organ playing. However, depending on the individual, there will also be opportunities to develop skills in choir accompanying and directing.
