Join Don Crawley, our resident organ enthusiast, for a three-part deep dive into the world of pipe organs. Part 1 meets in the First Church sanctuary for a hands-on introduction to how these instruments work. On July 25 we’ll caravan to Tacoma for a tour of the Paul Fritts organ shop (where master craftspeople build some of the finest organs in the country) followed by a demonstration of a Fritts organ at Lagerquist Hall on the PLU campus.
