Paul R. Marchesano on June 10th, 2026:

from Cathedral music page:
In the late 1920's the Woodstock Organ Company provided St. George's Cathedral with a three manual organ on which today's instrument is based.

Dr. George Maybee initiated a massive rebuilding project, completed in 1963. Thirty-two new ranks were installed along with a new console closely resembling that of Westminster Abbey. The British firm of Hill, Norman and Beard was chosen to complete the work.

In the mid 1980's the organ was again rebuilt. A solid-state electronic console replaced the previous electro-pneumatic console.

The most recent renovation was completed in 2012 by Sylvain Brisson and Alain Gagnon, including a new console, and restoration and expansion of all divisions.

In 2023, news came about that St. James Cathedral in Toronto was planning to replace its aged but beautiful J.W. Walker & Sons (1979) organ console. The console was most likely to be scrapped. This provided a wonderful opportunity for the St. George's Cathedral organ to be paired with a console best-suited to its specification. The fourth manual would provide the ability to eliminate difficult to use 'floating' divisions, and allow the player full access to the instrument while playing.

In August 2023, several Cathedral musicians made the trip to Toronto to recieve the console. It has since been restored and electrified, and has been in use ever since. The three-manual console installed during the 2012 restoration has been sold to an Ontario-based organ building firm.
