Installing a New Organ at Trinity Church Wall Street, NY
Trinity began rejuvenating its sacred spaces more than four years ago, and that process includes adding three new pipe organs. The Noack organ is already in place at St. Paul’s Chapel; a pipe organ built by Richards Fowkes & Co. will be operational in the Chapel of All Saints by early 2023; and the grandest of them all, an eight-thousand pipe instrument manufactured in Germany, is currently being installed in Trinity Church.
Original organ built in 1846. It was removed to deal with dust from 9/11 and it was later decided to install a completely new organ instead.
Interesting, thanks. Trinity Wall Street has an interesting history of organs post 911. The first organ they had installed was actually an M&O digital instrument:
It's funny how the video says the M&O was "temporary." If it was temporary, why did they get rid of it before the new one was ready? I suppose it's more tactful than the alternative!
The German organ is actually a collaboration between Rosales and Glatter-Götz:
I'm a fan of Rosales organs, so I feel it will be an interesting one. I think it is cool that they are installing and voicing it a little at a time so that it can be used before it is ready. That's probably not cheap though! I think it is Manuel Rosales at the keyboard in the video:
The Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles was by that same team of Rosales and Glatter-Götz: I do hope the facade in the church is a bit more traditional.
