Almost fifty years ago, Community of
Christ's Auditorium Organ was built by the Aeolian-Skinner
Organ Company of Boston, Massachusetts. Immediately after
its installation in 1959, the organ became--and
remains--perhaps the most important example of the company's
work from the period.
Some of the approximately thirty staff
organists, representing at least six different faith
traditions, invite you to enjoy music played on this
instrument during the last 50 years as we anticipate the
50th anniversary of this magnificent instrument.
