With an enthusiastic team, instrumental groups and several choirs it already has an enviable repertoire to its credit: something that Musical Director Worth Lewallen and Organist Patrick Hawkins want to take much further.<\/p><p>The organ will be placed on the west gallery, in two symmetrical cases on either side of the choir space on sides C and C#. To further facilitate singing, the expressive organ will have a double opening facing both the gallery and the nave. Traditional electrically-actuated pull-action mummers will be used, connected to a console with pull-action knobs located in the choir space.<\/p><p>Construction will begin in late 2028 and we will be in Columbia by mid-2030. It seems like a long wait. But there again, America has been waiting for two centuries.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
