Region II, Westchester
County, NY, October 10, Craig S. Williams, organist-choirmaster
at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, ledmembers and friends
on a tour of the historic Old Cadet Chapel and the Cadet Chapel.
They were shown the 19-rank Wicks at the Old Cadet Chapel; and
the four manual, 380-rank, 23,500-pipe Möller in the Cadet
Chapel, which is the largest sacred organ in the world. After
Williams treated the group to a performance/demonstration, most
of the members present were thrilled to have the opportunity to
try the instrument. Williams then led a tour of the Organ Shop,
a small chapel where a Möller Artiste is in use, and the
pipe chests. – Virginia B. Bender

January, 2011 issue of The American Organist.
