New Organ Coming Fall of 2024!
In late 2022, a contract was signed with Casavant Freres Organ Company for a new instrument of three manuals and 42 ranks, to be installed in late 2024. More information, including a specification, can be found by clicking here. The rendering to the left shows what our new facade will look like after installation.
In the interim, a Rodgers digital organ has been installed in the chancel to help lead worship at the 11 AM Sunday services.
The banner photo at the top shows this organ’s façade which was removed last October, following the collapse of some pipes.
The organ in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit was built by the C.B. Fisk organ company. Opus 146 resides in one corner of the space. Charles Nazarian’s angular 5-compartment case design features the Great Principal 8′, made of hammered spotted metal, and the Pedal Violone 16′, constructed of solid maple. The Great and Swell divisions occupy the right-hand portion of the case, the Pedal the left-hand. The console is attached and centered on the right side, offering a good line of sight between Organist and Choir. This mechanical action organ includes 25 ranks over two manuals and pedal.
