Canadian Reformed Organs

J.S. Bach:

"To have good knowledge of playing and conducting, to understand how to treat an organ well and to take proper care of it, are qualities inevitably required of a good organist."

Emmanuel Free Reformed Church Abbotsford
Casavant Frères - 1951

 

Overview

The organ was built as Casavant Frères Opus 2065 in 1951 for St. Mary's in Ottawa. In the early 1990's it was sold to the West Point Grey Catholic Church in Vancouver BC. It was rebuilt and installed by Koppejan Pipe Organs of Chilliwack BC. However, after a short period the organ was for sale. The FRC negotiated a price, under the condition that they would install it in their church, use it for a few months and then decide if they would keep it. They use it ever since.
