Music in Chapel

Music plays an important part of the life of the Chapel. Please join us to enjoy the glorious sound of the choir and organ, and experience how it enhances our worship. Details of forthcoming concerts and recitals will be published below:

Lunchtime Organ Recital – Tuesday 20 January 2026, 13:05

A half-hour organ recital by William Whitehead, Associate Organist of Lincoln’s Inn. Featuring music old and new, including pieces by J. S. Bach and Marcel Dupré.

The Organ in Lincoln's Inn Chapel

The current choir consists of nine professional singers who provide music of the very highest quality for most of the services in the Chapel, as well as appearing at the Inn for other musical events from Bach to Bernstein.

Nicholas Shaw is Organist and Director of Chapel Music.

In October 2009, the installation of a new organ (pictured above) by Kenneth Tickell, the English organ builder, added a big attraction to the Chapel. The organ is a forty stop instrument. You can read more about the Chapel organ here.

In October 2024, Joanna Marsh’s composition Batter My Heart, commissioned by Lincoln’s Inn, was been nominated for a prestigious Ivor Novello Composer Award at The Ivors Classical Awards. You can read more about about the commission here.
