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, as will our monthly Music Lists when they become available.

Music List – June 2026.

Free Lunchtime Concert: Versa Winds
Tuesday 30 June | 13:05 – 13:45 | Lincoln’s Inn Chapel

Enjoy a free 45-minute lunchtime recital with Royal College of Music’s Versa Winds. The dynamic quartet seamlessly blends classical, jazz and musical theatre influences, with each player featuring on saxophone, clarinet, and flute. Their varied programme will feature music from Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin), West Side Story (Bernstein), Jean Rivers and Bob Mintzer.

All are welcome and admission is free of charge.

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.
