Our organ, fondly known as Henry, is unique and historic both mechanically and as a musical instrument - but what exactly makes it so special?

Join international organist and long-time Union Chapel friend Hannah Parry for a musically illustrated talk where you will gain insights into this remarkable instrument. You'll have the opportunity to get up close to both the performer and the organ, and you may even have a chance to play it yourself—no prior experience necessary! All are welcome.

*Please note the Swell section of our organ is currently out for repair so we will be using the Great and Choir only*

Hannah Parry is an organist, accompanist and choral conductor based in London, UK and Steinfurt, Germany. Hannah has a fantastically varied career which spans two countries, with concert appearances across Germany and the UK, as well as examining, teaching and choral directing. She studied organ performance at the Royal College of Music with David Graham followed by a Masters degree at Royal Holloway, University of London. Hannah's freelance musical career has included church music posts at various London churches (most recently Farm Street Church in Mayfair) as well as accompaniment opportunities with choirs and choral societies. Teaching and outreach work with adults and children have featured highly and this work has led to close links with the Temple Church and Union Chapel. Hannah is the director of the Gronau Gospel Choir and teaches for the KulturForum, Steinfurt. Recent recital venues include Bradford Cathedral, the Nikolaikirche, Berlin and The Großekirche, Steinfurt.
