Organ and Trumpet Recital

Musical Fireworks: Trumpet and Organ music by Bach, Purcell, Mouret, Hovaness, and Peeters.

Trumpeter Jacob Crawford has just finished his second year at Dartmouth College, where he studies engineering with a focus on materials for application in the energy sector. His interest in music focuses on repertoire from the Baroque and Renaissance eras. He is also a ski instructor and soccer coach. Organist Henry Danaher is the Director of Music at The Church of Christ at Dartmouth College, the principal accompanist for the Dartmouth College Glee Club, and with the William Jewett Tucker Center, serves as Dartmouth’s College Organist. Henry has given two solo organ recitals and co-directed three choral projects at the Mary Keane Chapel.

Organ Restoration Update
Bob Waters and Richard Nickerson are continuing to address important restoration needs on the Casavant organ in the Museum’s Mary Keane Chapel. This fall and winter they removed and completely rebuilt the wind chest that receives and regulates the air pressure produced by the organ’s electric blower. This included replacing all the original leather work that controls the release of air to the organ pipes. In addition to maintaining the organ’s tuning, they have been repairing coupling mechanisms that have failed. Unfortunately the Casavant company no longer makes certain replacement parts, so some aspects of the restoration work requires creative problem solving. We are fortunate to
have two craftsmen, well versed in the intricacies of Casavant organ construction, caring for this precious instrument.

Thank you for your support of their ongoing restoration work.
