A concert venue has launched a new scholarship programme offering tuition on “one of the UK’s most important concert hall” organs.
The 14-metre (45ft) Britton Organ, built in 1956, has been fully restored to the Bristol Beacon’s main hall, ready for Grade II-listed instrument’s 70th anniversary.
To celebrate the occasion, the Beacon is offering free organ classes to three young people who will perform a concert on the instrument.
Laurie Stewart, head of creative learning at the Bristol Beacon, said: “We want as many people as possible to appreciate it [the organ] and its complexity.”
