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.

The Chapel Choir hold a popular annual concert in the Chapel each summer – the last of these was “Night Song”, held on Monday 19 May 2025. Details of future concerts will be posted on this webpage.

The current term’s music list can be viewed on this page or here.

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.
