Our year 6 children went up to St. Michael's church in Framlingham to see a demonstration of the ancient & historic pipe organ.Simon Pulham (maker of pipe organs) and Malcolm Russell (organist) used some very clever technology to show us how the organ works.
A video camera was connected from the organ down to a sreen at the front of the church so that we could see what Mr Russell was doing high up on the organ.
Mr Russel also played some very famous organ music by Bach.
There is a short video clip below.
The organ arrived in Framlingham 300 years ago from Pembroke College, Cambridge.
There are a series of concerts this year to celebrate the 300 year anniversary.
7th June, 13th July, 14th September and 16th November.
