ASU Gammage Pipe Organ Rededication Concert

It’s been over half a century since ASU Gammage’s trademark pipe organ was first dedicated to the theater, and now the historic instrument will be celebrated once again.  

ASU Gammage will rededicate its famous Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ with a free concert on Sunday, Oct. 21, at 7:30 p.m. by Richard Elliott, who holds a Doctor of Musical Arts and is the principal organist of the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. The rededication concert celebrates the modernization of the 53-year-old instrument specifically designed and voiced for the world-renowned concert hall acoustics of ASU Gammage. 

The original ASU Gammage organ dedication concert in 1965 was given by Alexander Schreiner, principal organist of the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City and one of the most popular and often-heard organists through recordings, broadcasts and live performances given around the world. Elliott follows closely in the footsteps of Schreiner and participates in the daily recital series on the 206-rank Aeolian-Skinner organ and accompanies the Tabernacle Choir in the choir’s weekly radio and TV broadcast, “Music and the Spoken Word.”
