The Organ Program is designed to help students develop excellence in performance and an understanding of a broad range of repertoire. Long recognized as one of the world’s leading centers for organ education, students will have coursework that includes keyboard skills and organ improvisation, and organ literature, history, and design. Private instruction and a range of performance opportunities enrich the experience in this program.
Friday Night Organ Pump
If pipe organs conjure images of Sunday services, you’ll want to be sure to go out on a Friday. At the stroke of midnight on the final Friday of the month, conservatory organ students present Organ Pump at Finney Chapel. The event is an unpredictable mix of musicianship and mayhem that attracts community members and students alike, especially Halloween weekend. For the final piece, the audience is invited to sprawl out on the stage to feel the thunder when the Fisk Opus 116 rattles the floorboards.
