Bach's Lunch

“There let the pealing organ blow…Dissolve me into extasie
And bring all Heaven before mine eyes.”
- John Milton

One of the treasures of the Episcopal Church in our region is the great Kleuker organ in the church sanctuary at the Chapel of the Cross. A large and complete instrument, our organ is capable of rendering the whole of the vast repertoire of worthy music composed for the “king of instruments.”

The Kleuker has been joined by an exquisite two-manual organ built by the Dobson Organ Company in Lake City, Iowa. This organ installed in our historic chapel has a warm and intimate sound appropriate to the space and the liturgical life which flourishes in it.

Come enjoy the varied tonal colors and sonic splendor of these organs under the hands (and feet) of distinguished local organists in this popular series of informal recitals. As the pun suggests, listeners are welcome to eat their lunch (please watch the celery and carrot sticks!) in the nave of the church during these recitals. For a description of the organs, please see the Church Organ and Chapel Organ pages.
