Kegg Pipe Organ Builders, Hartville, Ohio, has been commissioned to build a new pipe organ for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Houston, Texas. This three-manual, twenty-nine-rank organ, to be completed in early 2025, will include four stops retained from the existing instrument. The project has been developed in collaboration with music director John Kirk.
The existing organ is installed in the rear of the nave with the choir and console in front. The new organ will be located in the front of the room with the choir, leaving a modest Antiphonal division in the rear. The new organ design follows typical Kegg guidelines for organs of this size, with restrained use of borrowed and extended ranks to maximize flexibility and attention to choral accompaniments.
