Olivier Latry, titular organist of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, will play the dedication concert for the refurbished organs at the Cathedral of St. Paul, St. Paul, Minnesota, on October 24 at 7:30 p.m.
The cathedral pipe organs have undergone a three-year refurbishment and enhancement, by Quimby Pipe Organs, Inc. All original pipes were cleaned and retuned, and Quimby added more than 1,000 new pipes, including a Pontifical Trompette and a 32′ Pedal Bombarde; the two organs now comprise 89 ranks.
The gallery organ pipes are now encased in walnut-gilded casework, designed by Duncan R. Stroik, and based upon the original blueprint by the cathedral’s architect, Emmanuel Masqueray. Fundraising for the project is nearly complete; for information:
