This years Organ Historical Society Convention will be held in Saratoga Springs and the Capital Region of Upstate New York.
The convention takes place June 25-30,
and additional information can be found here. The convention
will again feature Tim Smith who played his own transcription of the Carnival
of Animals at St. Anthony's, New Bedford, MA, during the 2005 convention. Tim
will be releasing a professional recording he made at St. Anthony's in the
Fall of 2006.
One highlight of the convention will be the Friday night unveiling of the newly restored Troy Savings Bank Music Hall organ which was worked on by a volunteer coalition of organ builders from the American Institute of Organ Builders. The organ was built by J.H. & C.S. Odell in 1882.
Lemieux & Associates has several jobs in progress in the capital region, including a historically sympathetic rebuilding of the organ at the old Third St. Methodist Church in Watervliet, NY. This building, after having been abandoned for more that 30 years, will become the new home for St. Anne Maronite Catholic Church, Troy, NY (just a few miles on the other side of the Hudson river). The church, in their desire to keep the building's original pipe organ, has contracted with Lemieux & Associates to rebuilt the instrument. The organ is a Steer & Sons built in 1911. The instrument was essentially in ruins, and is currently in our shop. Aside from not using the design flawed tubular pneumatic action, there will be no tonal changes.To accommodate the Maronite (Lebanese) Catholic liturgy the console will be moved to the side of the church.
