Music has been at the heart of the life of Wells Cathedral for over 1100 years. This tradition is central to todays worship, community events, great civic services and the many concerts performed annually. The organ is a vital part of our musical and worshipping life. It not only accompanies the Cathedral Choir and congregation at our daily services, but it is also a magnificent instrument in its own right. For some time, the Cathedrals organists have been telling us that the condition of our organ is rapidly declining and needs urgent attention. It is only the deft skills of those playing the instrument which hide many of these faults and flaws from those of us who are listening below. The time has now come for the Cathedral organ to be refurbished for the next generation, and I ask you for your help in raising the funds to enable this vital work. Please give as generously as you can, and thank you for your support.
