Kegg organ, Christendom College, Front Royal, Virginia
Kegg Pipe Organ Builders, Hartville, Ohio, has completed a new organ for Christ the King Chapel, Christendom College, Front Royal, Virginia: four manuals and pedal, 47 ranks, 41 stops, 2,825 pipes.
The new neo-Gothic Christ the King Chapel of Christendom College in Front Royal, Virginia, can be seen from the western end of Interstate 66, a few miles east of where it meets Interstate 81 in western Virginia. Designed by the firm of O’Brien & Keane of Arlington, Virginia, the traditional cruciform building seats approximately 750 with extended transepts and Lady Chapel in the apse. There are eight side chapels in the transepts.
Acoustical consultant was Scott R. Riedel & Associates of Milwaukee.
Installed in February of 2023 in less than three weeks by the Kegg crew, the tonal finishing was completed by Charles Kegg and Chris Soer in time for the opening of the new facility in April.
