Organ Recitals
There are two organ recital series in the year.
In the summer of 2023, we celebrated the completion of our new pipe organ built by Patrick J. Murphy and Associates of Stowe, PA. The instrument consists of 3 manuals and 46 ranks. On November 17, 2023, a dedicatory recital was held and Mr. Tate Addis of Asheville, NC was the recitalist.
There is a 2 manual 3-1/2 rank 1978 Moller pipe organ in the chapel that was installed in summer of 2020.
St. John’s also owns a 5′ 7” 1988 Steinway and Sons piano, a one manual Sabithil and Sons harpsichord and four octaves of Schulmerich handbells.
