October 19, 2001:
Great Pipe Organ façade completed
· · ·
A Great Organ -- one with depth and range to propel everything from a
delicate organ concerto by Handel to the powerful symphonies of Mahler
and Saint-Saëns -- has long been the envisioned centerpiece of
Verizon Hall. In early October, 2001, the largest of more than 6,000
organ pipes built by Dobson Pipe Organ Builders are delivered and
installed. Installation of the organ itself will follow successful
completion of a campaign to raise the necessary funds.
