Tuesday, July 04, 2006
According to a Jefferson City News Tribune article, the rededication for a Pfeffer pipe organ that was recently completely renovated was hosted at St. Martin's Church Museum at Starkenburg Friday, June 30th:
The organ is known to be one of the oldest organs from the Pfeffer Organ Company, which was founded in St. Louis in [1860].
A 20-note pedal board and pedal backfalls instead of trackers are among its distinctive features.
Solo artist Neil Cockburn, who is also head of organ studies at Mount Royal College Organ Academy and curator of the Carthy Organ in Calgary's Jack Singer Hall, will present the organ in an hour-long performance. More about organbuilder J.G. Pfeffer of St. Louis can be found here. Pfeffer built many organs in the midwest.
