Learn what makes an organ work. Learn briefly about the history of organbuilding and what made Walter Holtkamp, Sr., the most avant-garde organbuilder of his time. And most importantly, hear these beautiful and majestic instruments, played in all their glory by Leonardo Ciampa. We will begin in the Chapel and, after a break for lunch, will continue over to Kresge.
