Late-night organ recital

2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the Frobenius organ’s arrival in Oundle School Chapel. Oundle International Organ Week, as it was known then, was launched in 1985, bringing together students and performers from all over the world for one glorious week in the summer. We are celebrating with a year-long (give or take!) programme of events, running from this August through early autumn 2025 largely donated by our Alumni/ae, details of which will continue be published on our website as they are finalised.

The first events in our Fabulous 40! Celebrations will be recitals given by four of our illustrious tutors on the 2024 Creative Oundle for Organists Summer School. Join us! All of these events are free, and we look forward to welcoming you.

• What’s happening? End a beautiful summer’s evening with a concert featuring one of the UK’s top recitalists on the iconic Frobenius organ. Ben Sheen, busy solo performer and Director of Music at Jesus College, Cambridge, will close day 3 of our Summer School with a programme of works by Bruhns, Schumman, Jongen, and Mozart.
