Sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Chapter of the American Guild of Organists and St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish.
Dr. Kevin Vogt presents the new organ at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Leawood, Kansas, to the members of The Greater Kansas City Chapter of the American Guild of of Organists. The organ is Opus 1 of the new firm of Saint John's Abbey Organ Builders, and the last large organ built by renowned organ builder Martin Pasi, who passed away on September 6.
An associate of Martin Pasi for almost 30 years, Dr. Vogt will situate the organ within Pasi's legacy, demonstrate the unique features of the St. Michael organ, and share Pasi's vision for the future that is sure to impact organ culture in the Greater Kansas City area.
