OCTOBER 15: FREE CONCERT
The Society is pleased to share this event hosted by The French Protestant (Huguenot) Church of Charleston featuring the Erben organ with a master organist and famed violinist.
Built by New York's Henry Erben, the 1845 organ is one of the last Erben organs in America, two others being in the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral and St. Paul's Church, both in New York. The organ was specially built for the church when it was constructed in 1844. The organ’s ivory keys are connected to the valves by a wooden "tracker" mechanism which allows the organist to move from key to key more quickly than any other mechanism. The tone is similar to Baroque organs. The Gothic mahogany case stands twenty feet high by thirteen feet wide accented with golden pipes. The organ has twenty stops, two ranks and an octave and a half of pedals.
