Saint Ann's Catholic Church

Announcing the completion of a

4-Manual Allen Heritage Organ

Combining 21st century digital technology
with 13 ranks of traditional windblown organ pipes.

Pictured above is the stylish drawknob console (real drawknobs) and organ facade of 16' Principal pipes. The main organ chamber includes Swell, Great, Choir and Pedal.  The Solo Organ speaks from divided chambers behind and beside the altar and contains a wide variety of solo voices, including a commanding chorus of Festival Tubas at 16-8-4.  Great-Swell-Choir and Pedal also speak from divided antiphonal chambers in the rear gallery.

The organ was heard in public performance for the first time on Palm Sunday to critical acclaim. Opening celebrations include an Organ Master Class with Michael Stairs (Organist for the Philadelphia, PA Orchestra) and a Dedication Concert with "First Lady of the Organ", Diane Bish.
