If you are an organist, or know an organist who would enjoy a unique gift, we have the very thing for you.
The Organ Experience offers a rare chance to learn about the historic organ in St Mary’s Cathedral in Glasgow, and offers you the chance to actually play one of the most thrilling and unique organs in Scotland, both in its current condition, and after it has been rebuilt.
