In 2021 the organ underwent urgent restoration works. The project, which involved removing, cleaning and restoring each of its 4,565 individual pipes, took 18 months to complete at a cost of over £1m. This work was carried out by specialist organ builders Harrison & Harrison Ltd.
The restoration project conserves and protects one of the UK’s most important mid-20th century organs and ensures it can continue to play an integral role in Cathedral life and worship.

The organ was officially reopened in 2024 by Martin Baker who performed a recital of works by Frescobaldi, Bach and Latry alongside an improvisation on musical themes associated with the city of Liverpool.
The organ regularly features in concerts and events featured in the annual ‘Music at the Met’ programme.
