Trinity Cathedral Virtual Organ Tour
This virtual field trip into the Trinity Cathedral pipe organ hopes to make āthe King of Instrumentsā more accessible to everyone. Originally intended to be eight episodes, the series blossomed into 12 installments that range from 5 -10 minutes in length. It is a relaxed and sometimes humorous entrĆ©e into a mysterious world of pipes, pedals, and percussion that will hopefully pique interest and answer a few questions.
