Why does ICU actively hold organ concerts at the University Chapel?

ICU's main Rieger organ was installed in the University chapel in 1970, and has been used for regular concerts ever since. By the end of 2017, it had been used in a total of 314 public concerts, making ICU one of Japan's leading university organ concert venues. These concerts are organized by the Sacred Music Center, and students are also able to take private lessons on ICU's three pipe organs. Our concerts feature leading organists from Japan and abroad, and many young performers featured at ICU concerts have gone on to illustrious careers around the world.

The Sacred Music Center also organizes a range of concerts, events and public lectures, most of which are open to the public.
