Organ Stops: Saving the King of Instruments
Documentary that follows the tireless efforts of a small band of pipe organ enthusiasts to save these magnificent instruments as churches and venues across Britain close.
Organ Stops follows a handful of eccentric devotees rescuing and restoring abandoned pipe organs from closing churches. As Martin Renshaw trawls churches for hidden gems in the form of precious instruments, he meets people like 95-year-old organist Blanche Beer, whose long life has been shaped by music and community.
In a Durham church, a wonderful organ is discovered that becomes the redemptive story at the heart of the film. The organ is saved and lovingly restored, becoming the musical heart of a vibrant church in London.
A poignant documentary about loss and rebirth, and the role music plays in our lives.
