A New Organ for St Paul's

As part of our ever-expanding musical offering, we are delighted to announce that, from September 2026, St Paul's will have a pipe organ supporting its worship.

The difference between an electronic instrument and a pipe organ is considerable. Rather than reproducing recorded sounds through loudspeakers, a pipe organ creates sound by allowing air to pass through thousands of individual pipes. Like a fine acoustic piano, its sound is alive, filling the building with a warmth and presence that no electronic instrument can entirely replicate.

Our present instrument, which has served us faithfully over the years,

will be transported and reinstalled at St Cecilia's Church in Stamford, where

we hope it will continue to serve Fr Connaughton and his congregation for many years to come.

Our new instrument, Noack Organ Company Opus 109, was built in 1987 for Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Memphis, Tennessee. As the Holy Trinity congregation prepares to merge with neighbouring parishes and their church enters a new chapter, we are honoured to provide a new home for this remarkable instrument so that its pipes might continue their vocation

of giving praise to Almighty God.

The clergy, vestry, and congregation of Holy Trinity have been particularly pleased to learn that the organ will play a central role in the formation of

young musicians as St Paul's begins to establish its new chorister programme.

Later this summer, the organ will be carefully dismantled in Memphis by the Noack Organ Company, its original builders, before beginning its journey to Connecticut. Following its arrival in Greenwich, it will be reassembled during late August in readiness to lead the worship of St Paul's from September onwards.
