The Great Elgin Pipe Organ Tour 2024-2025

Travel along with FCC music director and organist, Dr. Jeff Neufeld, as he and guests perform on the many pipe organs of Elgin’s churches, from the massive four-manual Austin/Rodgers organ at First United Methodist, to the small but mighty one-manual Casavant at Christ the Lord Lutheran.

Beginning in September 2024 and continuing through next May, the tour will begin in downtown Elgin, make its way out to the west side, and then loop back into downtown with a finale concert at First Congregational. Along with a wide variety of organ repertoire, some concerts will also feature piano/organ duets, other instrumentalists. and hymn singing.

 

Be sure to check back often as dates for each church are finalized!
