Dueling Pipe Organs

 Saturday, May 5, 2012

A program of Dueling Pipe Organs will be present on Saturday, May 5, 2012.  This free concert is at 2:00 pm in the Atrium building courtyard, located on the corner of 10th and Olive in Eugene.

On Saturday, May 5, the 2 pm afternoon concert in the Eugene Atrium will feature two real pipe organs.  The Eugene Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will present a concert of antiphonal organ music on pipe organs that were built right here in Eugene, Oregon.  The portative pipe organs were created by David Petty & Associates, and each has 3 and 1/2 ranks of pipes.
The music will be performed by 5 pairs of organists, and will be from the literature, mainly baroque, written for multiple instruments.  One of the pipe organs will be located on the floor of the Courtyard, and the other from a balcony to heighten the antiphonal effects.  Audience members will be seated in the round and will be able to experience this great music in the wonderful acoustics of the Eugene Atrium.
