In addition to Choral Evensong, we offer a variety of other events that are attractive to families. I do hope you will consider joining us for some, or all of our arts offerings.
Organs of Paris - Part I
In July 2017, I had the privilege of attending a week-long
organ improvisation intensive with some of France’s finest improvisors. An
exciting aspect of this adventure was the opportunity to play some stunning
and historical organs in Paris. In addition to the wonderful organs, one makes
wonderful new friends at these offerings. Overall it was a great week, and a memorable experience.
Sponsored by Organ Promotion, Germany
One of the highlights of the trip was playing the organ at Église Sainte Madeleine.
One of the most spectacular organs, Van den Heuvel, 1989 V/147, using both pipe & digital sounds
and mechanical action or electric action, Église Saint-Eustache.
One of the most unique places was the Église Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot. Being a completely concrete building, it was impervious to damage from bombing (unless a direct hit), was built to house an organ designed by Marcel Dupré. The organ was never built, as metal was needed for the war efforts, and not organ pipes.
