Notes

Paul R. Marchesano on November 06, 2021:

"Robert Gladden & Associates oversaw a major renovation to APC’s sanctuary organ in honor of the 300th Anniversary of the congregation in 2014. This expansion produced the versatile and beautiful 4-manual 103-rank expansion on the original 1969 Möller (III/58) opus 10551...The re-dedicatory recital was presented by Alan Morrison including a newly commissioned work by Kile Smith." -- from church website
The 2014 expansion and rebuild added about 20 ranks of pipes and also included addition of 26 digital voices.
