About

In 2008, Noel established Malta’s first organ-building and design studio under the name ‘NG Pipe Organ Design’ dedicated exclusively to the traditional pipe organ.

 

As an organ designer, he has been in increasing demand, working with many leading organ builders worldwide including: Nicholson & Co. Ltd, Rudolf Von Beckerath Orgelbau GmbH, Metzler Orgelbau AG. and others, which entrusted him to work on various projects of significant importance. Examples can be found in Germany, the United Kingdom, Norway, Switzerland, the United States, Australia, South Korea, Malaysia, China and Malta.

 

Alongside his design work, Noel is actively engaged in the construction, restoration, and maintenance of pipe organs throughout the Maltese Islands, often working in collaboration with other specialist firms. Drawing on an extensive international network of organ-building professionals, he brings together expertise from multiple disciplines to provide a comprehensive and high-quality service across Malta and Gozo.

 

 

Noel studied Solo Piano with Trinity College London and organ performance under the guidance of Mro. Carmelo Zammit in Malta. His studies in organ building took him around the world, where he specialised in restoration and upgrading techniques with Michael Farley Organ Builders in the UK, and in new organ design and construction under master organ builder Christoph Weber in Germany. He also developed a deep understanding of Malta’s historic organs through mentorship with George Schembri, who with his father before him, spent much of the last century working on Maltese organs. Schembri also guided Noel in piano tuning and repair.

 

In addition to his musical training, Noel pursued studies in architecture, drafting, quantity surveying, internet marketing, and CAD software, and worked for nine years in an architectural and civil engineering studio. He served for 15 years as resident organist at St. Gregory Parish Church in Sliema and continues to perform regularly at liturgical services and concerts across Malta, Gozo, and various European countries. He is also frequently invited to participate in cultural events.

 

Noel is a warranted organ restorer-conservator and a member of the International Society of Organ Builders. He has published articles and presented at numerous organisations and conferences, including the Institute of British Organ Building, Heritage Malta and the St Albans International Organ Festival, as well as delivering lectures and demonstrations at both national and international levels.
