ORGAN STUDY AT DEPAUW


J. STANDFORD SMITH CONCERT ORGAN ORGAN

Thompson Recital Hall Organ
The pipe organ in Kresge Auditorium of the Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts, was designed and built by Wolff & Associées Ltée. from Laval, Quebec Canada. The organ, nestled in the west wall of the auditorium, has three manuals, pedal, and includes 41 speaking stops, 56 ranks and 2,848 pipes.

This magnificent instrument will be a significant contribution to organ study at DePauw, and make possible performances that span the body of literature written for the instrument. In addition, the new organ will be a wonderful collaborative instrument, as there are extensive collections of works written for organ and choir, band, orchestra, and chamber ensembles.

The first dedication concert was performed on April 24, 2003 by Dr. Carla Edwards, University Organist. A series of additional dedication concerts is scheduled for the academic year 2003-2004.
