Con­cert Hall Organs in the Unit­ed States

Pipe organs in Amer­i­can con­cert halls are noth­ing new in the annals of music his­to­ry. In 1763, Boston­ian Stephen Deblois ordered an organ from the renowned Lon­don mak­er, John Snet­zler, for his music hall on Queen Street. Dur­ing the nine­teenth cen­tu­ry, one looks no fur­ther than the great four-man­u­al organ by E. & G.G. Hook of 1864 in Mechan­ics’ Hall Worces­ter, or the hand­some three-man­u­al Odell organ of 1890 in the Troy Sav­ings Bank Music Hall. Then there is the Great Organ, as it came to be known, from the old Boston Music Hall, cur­rent­ly in Methuen, Mass­a­chu­setts. Dur­ing the twen­ti­eth cen­tu­ry, con­cert-hall organs pro­lif­er­at­ed across the Unit­ed States by such great Amer­i­can builders as Lynn Dob­son, C.B. Fisk, M.P. Möller, E.M. Skin­ner, and Michael Quim­by. What is new, how­ev­er, is the 2022 OHS cal­en­dar, fea­tur­ing spec­tac­u­lar, high-res­o­lu­tion imagery, cap­tured pre­dom­i­nant­ly by our own Len Lev­asseur, show­ing many Amer­i­can con­cert-hall organs in some nev­er-before seen photographs.
