The Mighty Organ Speaks
Enjoy lunchtime Organ Recitals at St Columb's Cathedral.
If you have visited Derry’s historic St Columb’s Cathedral you will have seen some of the organ pipes at the front of the Cathedral. Not many people know that behind the few dozen pipes you can see, are nearly four thousand pipes ranging in size from less than an inch to around sixteen feet in height. Each pipe contributes its own voice to a stunning ensemble of sounds.
Few people see the console, were four sets of keyboards and pedals, played with feet, and fifty-eight stops allow the organist to control this mammoth instrument – the third largest in Northern Ireland.
Saint Columb’s Cathedral, was the first Cathedral built after the Reformation. It is the city’s most historic building containing displays of artefacts from the Siege.
