Reuter Organ Company Heritage Celebration

  • Trinity Episcopal Church 1011 Vermont Street Lawrence, KS, 66044 United States (map)

We will gather to celebrate the 105 year heritage of the Reuter Organ Co. Reuter produced more than 2200 new organs and countless rebuilds and additions projects over their long heritage as an organ builder in Lawrence, KS. Historian and organist Max Mayse will present a brief history about the company's earlier years to include many photos plus a video presentation. JR Neutel, the president of the company (now downsized and not producing new instruments) will offer brief remarks and past employees in attendance will be recognized. There will also be a mini concert performed by prize-winning young artist, Dr. Peiyao Yu, on Trinity's 33-rank Reuter Organ after which there will be cake and drinks along with CD give-a-ways.

Peiyao Yu will perform a demonstration-style concert on the 2015 Reuter Organ at Trinity Episcopal Church. She will play excerpts from:

Sei gegrüßet, Jesu gütig, BWV 768 by J.S.Bach
Méditations sur le Mystère de la Sainte Trinité No.2 by Olivier Messiaen
Variations sur un Noël, Op.20 by Marcel Dupré
