The largest and grandest organ ever built by E. & G. G. Hook & Hastings (their Opus 801), this instrument is without question one of the great cathedral organs of the world, and one of the most important surviving organs from the Romantic period. Leo Abbott, Cathedral Music Director since 1986, oversees the ongoing restoration by the Andover Organ Company. The funds from this recital will be put toward needed repairs to the Great windchest.

Quimby Pipe Organs, Inc. is scheduled to re-install the organ in the summer of 2013. The parish just needs to raise another $44,000 to have all needed funds. They have raised $184,000 to date.
Several of the finest organists in the Boston Area will play this concert with all proceeds being split between the two organizations.

Isn't the Church of the Advent the famous Anglo-Catholic church? If I can find it, I've got a copy of a 'hymn' written about the church which goes to the tune 'Aurelia' - it's almost the Anglo-Catholic national anthem :)
