Trinity Lutheran Church, Lynnwood, Washington, concluded its 20th anniversary season of “Artists at the Organ” with a special celebratory concert, with Paul Tegels as organist. A native of the Netherlands, Tegels is associate professor of organ and university organist at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. The concert partially reenacted the dedication concert given by David Dahl, professor emeritus of PLU, on April 23, 1995, with music of Bach, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Krebs, Dupré, and a work especially commissioned for this concert by Dahl and dedicated to Martin Pasi, the builder of the organ.
Trinity Lutheran Church’s organ, Opus 4, is a two-manual, 30-stop mechanical action instrument. It is housed in an Italianate-style case of black walnut, in a fine acoustical environment. Every part of the instrument was built by Martin Pasi especially for this space and was installed in 1995 shortly after the new sanctuary was completed.
