Mount Calvary Church of Baltimore is sponsoring a recital series, “Veni Creator Spiritus”, in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of its Fisk-Andover-Flentrop organ.
Completed in 1961 by Charles Brenton Fisk in collaboration with the Flentrop firm of the Netherlands, Mount Calvary’s organ was the first large instrument built in Baroque style with mechanical key action by an American workshop. It influenced a generation of organists, especially the Peabody Institute students of the church’s organist in the 1950s and ’60s, Arthur Howes, who spearheaded the installation of this instrument.
The series began on January 14, with Jack Whritenour, and continues: February 11, Ryan Patrick; March 5, Christa Rakich; April 8, Michael Lawrence; and June 3, Chelsea Barton.
