Congratulations to Chamberlain in Y11, he is a Judd organ scholar and has been studying the organ for just a little over two and half years under Miss Gillian Oldridge. Over the summer, Chamberlain was shortlisted to take part in the Northern Ireland International Organ Competition held last month at the St Patrick’s Cathedral of Northern Ireland, in the city of Armagh. Players had to perform a 12-minute recital comprising of two or three pieces. Whilst the intermediate category is for players of around grade 7-8 level, the choice of programme and high standard of playing would admirably parallel the technical capabilities of early to mid-diploma level. Despite being the second youngest at 14, Chamberlain delighted the jury, chaired by the renowned UK and international concert organist Thomas Trotter, and theaudience with one of J.S. Bach’s greatest organ works, Fantasia in G Major, also known as Pièce d'Orgue and the popular romantic era piece – Toccata in B Minor by French composer Eugene Gigout.
