The centennial of the first organ installed by the Reuter Organ Company was celebrated at Trinity Episcopal Church, Mattoon, Illinois, on November 19, 2017, with a recital by Ron Krebs, vice-president of Reuter. The program was scheduled 100 years and one day after the instrument’s inauguration, November 18, 1917.
The recital program included works by Pelz, Buxtehude, Bach, Mendelssohn, and Shaw on the two-manual, eight-rank instrument, a product of Reuter’s first shop in Trenton, Illinois. As a part of the celebration, a plaque commemorating the anniversary was presented to Allen Webnar, Trinity Church music director. The event concluded a year long series of five programs.
