Guest Artist: Vincent Warnier, Organ

50th Anniversary of the Casavant Organ at CSU

Colorado State University’s Casavant Frères Organ was designed and voiced specifically for the university by Lawrence I. Phelps, in consultation with former CSU organ professor Robert Cavarra. Installed in 1968 in the previous music building on the Oval, it is one of the first modern mechanical-action (tracker) organs built at an American university and is considered a landmark instrument in the “Organ Revival” movement. Boasting 2,079 pipes, the organ was constructed in a style emulating 17th and 18th century German organ building principles. The legacy of the organ has earned CSU an international reputation as the keeper of one of the finest organs built in the 20th century. Join us in 2018 for a series of concerts celebrating the 50th anniversary of our beloved instrument!
