The Organ
The College's famous organ, built by the Danish firm of Frobenius in 1965, set the standard for the classical organ revival in Britain, and remains one of the finest instruments in the country.

The Frobenius organ stands in the west gallery of the chapel. The case was designed by Fin Ditlevsen. The organ is used for weekly recitals during term time, as well as for services, concerts, recordings, and broadcasts. In 2015, the Frobenius at 50 Organ Festival marked the 50th anniversary of the installation of this influential instrument, with the complete organ works of J.S. Bach played by many of the world's finest organists.
