NYC Gets its Concert Hall Pipes Back

The Big Apple is getting its groove back in the pipe organ world.

According to NYT, the Kuhn instrument is currently the only pipe organ in any major NYC concert hall. It was recently reinstalled and rededicated in Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center.

Reporter James Oestreich says, "Now here it was, on Tuesday evening, restored and fitted out with the latest technology to make it more user friendly and give it greater sonic heft."

Now...we'll see if Lincoln Center makes it easy to go hear it. Image from Nils Olander via Wikicommons.
