At St. Olaf, we are blessed to have a magnificent 67-rank pipe organ.
This fall, it will be showcased in a series of recitals on Wednesday
afternoons, immediately following the noon Mass. Come hear the organ
thunder with might and whisper gently as talented organists showcase a
variety of repertoire.
Wednesday Organ Recitals run from Sept 26 through Dec 5 (no recital Oct 31), and will be approx. 30-40 minutes long. Freewill donation.
