Venues
We are truly blessed to have within 25 miles an exquisite number of pipe organs that represent historic and the latest in technology.
Even more important is how gracious each church and special venue owner has been to support the educational and fun that this Pipe Organ Encounter week has meant and will stay with our 40 13-18 year old students as they continue with their studies.
