WILLIAM GRANT CHAPMAN William Grant Chapman gained his earliest organ experience as a youth in the time-honored tradition of “apprentice” with Bob Bass. Continuing his studies for many years, he became a skilled organ rebuilder and founded the West Coast Pipe Organ Company in 1975. He was Curator of Organs for the University of Redlands and has been the Artistic Director of the Redlands Organ Festival. When the United States Military Academy sought Mr. Chapman’s expertise, he closed his California business and moved to West Point, New York, in 2000. As Associate Curator of Organs, he maintains “the world’s largest pipe organ in a religious structure” at the Cadet Chapel, as well as pipe organs in four additional chapels at West Point. He continues to write and lecture in addition to his work with churches and schools.
