From the pastoral to the powerful, a wider range of musical repertoire flourishes after an ambitious renovation of Trinity Episcopal Church’s pipe organ. It’s no accident that the musical instrument most linked to churches, God and sacred music is almost indestructible. More apt to go out of style than to erode or decay, a pipe organ can last for hundreds of years. No improvements, no problem — unless you’re a church in an urban area with enough interest (and money) to update your pipe organ to meet certain musical goals as well as contemporary aesthetics for sound.
