featuring the
Taylor & Boody
Organ
Opus 11, 1985
All concerts
are FREE
and open
to the public.
The primary organ at St.
Helena’s is modern yet reminiscent
of the organ-building practices used
during the 17th and 18th centuries
in Europe. This fine instrument is
an example of the pinnacle of organ
craftsmanship, a period known as
the “golden age” of organ building
and organ music, reached in Europe
between 1600 and 1750.
Three centuries later, the legacy
of excellent organ building
continues to elevate the spirit.
Installed in 1985 by Taylor & Boody Organ Builders of Staunton,
Va., the two-manual organ has 19 stops and more than 1,150
pipes housed in a beautifully crafted oak case.
