Orgues Létourneau announces a new organ to be built for St. Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church, New Orleans, Louisiana.
This instrument will have divisions in all four corners of the church sanctuary to support a wide range of liturgical music throughout the space.
Létourneau’s Opus 138, a four-manual organ of 79 ranks, will be completed during summer 2024.

Dr. Gregoire is organist at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas, as well as executive director of the Arts Foundation of St. Andrew (www.jonathangregoire.com).
The pipe organ, Létourneau’s Opus 135, was completed in late 2020; its 75 ranks offer a vast array of color and dynamic range across seven manual divisions. The full resources of the instrument can be played from the two-manual console in the church’s rear gallery with touchscreen controls for stops and couplers or a traditional four-manual console with drawknobs in the chancel's choir loft.
