Dulwich College (Singapore) will soon be home to the first pipe organ to be built in Singapore in 15 years, and it will hold the distinction of being the first school to receive such an instrument in Singapore as they have previously been built exclusively for churches and concert halls.
Construction on the organ began only after meticulous sourcing and consultation, including a trip to Manila in 2016 by Dr John Carnelley, Deputy Director of Music and organ scholar at Dulwich College, our founding school in London, in order to inspect the organ-building firm.
Dr Carnelley was impressed by the firm’s instruments. He assures us that the new organ in Singapore meets the highest standards of craftsmanship using traditional methods, being largely mechanical and featuring the reverse coloured keyboards, that characterise the organ dating back to 1760 at Dulwich College. The Dulwich College organ is of international significance, being one of the very few British organs to have survived from the 18th century.
The organ for Dulwich College (Singapore) was made in Las Pinas, a city near Manila, over the course of a year by a team of 15 craftsmen. Installation began in the College’s theatre in late June, and the six-tonne instrument should be ready for students to play by the end of the year.

( 新加坡）德威英国国际学校成为
新加坡首个制作管风琴的学校
（新加坡）德威英国国际学校很快就将成为新加坡首个拥有管风琴的学校，此前新加坡所有的管风琴都是为教堂和音乐厅建造的。同时，这也将成为十五年来首架在新加坡建造的管风琴。
为了打造这架管风琴，我们做了大量的前期准备工作。在审慎细致的选材采购和咨询磋商之后，我们的音乐副总监约翰·卡内利（John Carnelley）博士还在2016年与来自伦敦创始校德威公学的管风琴专家一同前往马尼拉，考察了管风琴制作公司。
卡内利博士对这家公司制作的乐器给予了高度评价。他确信他们为新加坡制作的这架新管风琴能达到传统工艺的最高水准，其中大量的机械装置和反色键盘都充分体现了德威公学管风琴的特色。德威公学的管风琴制作于1760年，在国际上也具有重要意义，因为它是极少数从十八世纪保留至今的英国管风琴之一。
（新加坡）德威英国国际学校的管风琴在邻近马尼拉的城市拉斯皮尼亚斯制作而成，整个制作过程历时一年，由15名工匠齐力打造。六月下旬，（新加坡）德威英国国际学校的剧院开始了管风琴的安装工作，今年年底这台重达六吨的乐器就能开放给学生演奏。
