The demonstration will be led by Ben Outen, and will focus on the use of resources of this organ in our liturgy and worship. Music from different periods in the repertoire will be performed by Dr. Charles Tompkins. The program will conclude with an Evensong, utilizing the organ and full congregational participation.
Purpose: To provide a time for learning about the organ as a musical instrument, and the primary musical instrument of the church for the past 500 years. The discussion/presentation will permit time for Q&A.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the organ as the chief musical instrument in our tradition of liturgy and worship. This particular instrument played a significant role in the decision of the Organ Committee to recommend the work of C.B. Fisk to our Vestry. Please take advantage of this unique opportunity!
