About the Organ

The organ was built by Casavant Frères of St. Hyacinthe, Québec, and installed in July of 1999. While clearly intended for use in a liturgical setting to accompany congregational singing and to present music of the Lutheran tradition, the instrument is designed with the capacity to serve as a vehicle for many styles and structures of musical composition.

The organ has two manuals and pedalboard, the swell being under expression, and consists of a total of seventeen stops and twenty-one ranks for a total of 1223 pipes.
