Virtual Organ Showcase and Open Console


Christiansen III-109 Home Virtual Organ by R. M. Ballantyne Organs, Opus 33

Come learn about virtual organs!

Clay Christiansen has invited chapter members to his home where he has a 3-manual virtual organ installed, the Christiansen III-109 Home Virtual Organ by R. M. Ballantyne Organs, Opus 33 (see organ spec attached).

  1. Recital: Clay will do a 20-minute recital of the five movements of his Suite, which shows off the organ well. 
  2. Virtual Organ Discussion: The organ engineer who work on this project, Charlie Raasch, will also join us by video conference to talk about the project and the organ’s design and installation. Learn about virtual organs from an expert! 
  3. Open Console: Finally, attendees will have the opportunity to play the organ, so bring your music and your organ shoes! 

Seating is limited to 35 attendees, so registration on the event page: https://slcago.org/event/virtual-organ-showcase-and-open-console/.
