Holtkamp Organ Company has built a new for for Central Christian Church, Lexington, Kentucky. The history of organs at Central Christian Church began with a Hook & Hastings tracker instrument in 1894. This was replaced in 1915 by a tubular-pneumatic-action organ by M. P. Möller. After a worship space fire in 1933, the Möller was rebuilt by Henry Pilcher’s Sons of Louisville, Kentucky. This was followed by an organ by the Holtkamp Organ Company in 1960. Twenty-two stops from the existing organ were included in the new organ project. Of these twenty-two stops, all were revoiced and ten were rescaled.
The organ dedication series began in September 2023 and continues on Sundays at 4 p.m.: March 10, Schuyler Robinson; April 14, David Enlow; May 19, Clif Cason; June 16, Erich Balling and Lisa Hall. 2023-2024 Holtkamp Organ Dedication Series brochure.
