The Wilhelmy American Flag Glass Pipe Organ, built by Austrian Certified Pipe Organ Builder Xaver Wilhelmy, features glass pipes, the first pipe organ pipes made from glass in the world. This sound sculpture was created as part of a Memorial Proposal to create one working glass pipe organ pipe for each person lost during the tragic events of 9/11, to give each individual a voice.

7/2 Alla Americana Always with some interesting ideas, American composers continue to enhance the organ’s repertoire.

7/9 In the American Tradition Composers from the United States have sustained the art of the King of Instruments.

7/16 We All Love Concertos Delve yet again into the incredibly rich repertoire of music for organ and orchestra.
