A Visit from Eastman
Last week, St. Mary–St. Catherine Parish had the esteemed honor of welcoming students and Associate Professor Nathan Laube from the Eastman School of Music Organ Department for a study trip focused on our Woodbury and Harris Opus 100 organ. The Eastman School of Music is world-renowned for its strong program in organ performance and education.
As many of you may know, the organ at St. Mary’s Church underwent a substantial restoration in 2016 and is currently under the care of our organ curator, Lee Eiseman. Since its installation in 1892, this special instrument has provided music for countless Masses, weddings, funerals, and concerts. This 3-manual tracker organ is a true gem that many esteemed organists over the years have sought out to play.
We are honored and grateful to Professor Laube and the students for their visit from the Eastman School of Music and for inspiring the next generation of organists. We are also deeply thankful to Lee Eiseman, who has been a true steward of the organ. Whenever we need a repair or have a question, Lee is always quick to come to the rescue.
