Trinity Cathedral Virtual Organ Tour

This virtual field trip into the Trinity Cathedral pipe organ hopes to make ā€œthe 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.
