Before computers, pipe organs were the most complex machines in the world. Learn how they work, and hear the amazing sounds that the "King of Instruments" can make. Join organist Leonardo Ciampa for a series of lectures on the workings of the organ, culminating with a lecture demonstration on the Kresge Organ (Friday February 1, 7pm) and a special organ concert in Kresge (Friday February 1, 8pm) featuring the world premiere of Ciampa's Kresge Organ Symphony.
