£15,000 has been awarded towards the tonal restoration and preservation of a vintage pipe organ at Cathedral Isle of Man.
St German’s Foundation for Music and the Arts applied for the funding to assist with the renovation of the 1883 Brindley and Foster Pipe Organ – a Victorian church instrument which is challenged by the needs of a growing Cathedral. Through an overall £350,000 investment, plans to transform the current instrument into a new three-manual pipe organ; preserving the heritage of the original piece while improving its capacity for the future are well underway.
Cathedral Organist Dr Peter Litman said: ‘The Island's Cathedral is undergoing a major transformation and finding its place within the Manx Church and Island community. Each area of the Cathedral is developing – the gardens, hospitality, music and so on - and the development of the organ is a key element. It is the beating heart of the Cathedral Choir and is central to the quality of music offered to the Island community at the Cathedral.
This grant was from the Manx Lottery Trust’s Community Awards Programme.
