The facade of the Holtkamp organ of the Juilliard School New York, built in 1968, hides nothing, conceals nothing, does not adorn itself, but openly and freely shows the viewer every stop and every partial movement of the organ. The pipes are located on chromatic windchests and these are freely positioned above the stage and partly rotated by 45°. This instrument by Holtkamp has 52 stops and three manuals. Special features are the solo movement (floating division) and the execution of the 12 lowest notes of the Untersatz 32′ as digital (!) sounds.
In 1924, the firm of Harrison & Harrison built an organ for Glen Tanar House in Aboyne, Scotland. Thirty years later, this instrument was installed by the same firm in the side organ chambers of Temple Church in London. With 66 stops, the four-manual instrument has a rich late-Romantic disposition typical of England, with numerous fundamental voices as well as powerful reed stops.

Paul Jacobs is a citizen of the world on the organ. He has performed on five continents and in all 50 US states. As a 23-year-old, he played Bach’s complete works in an 18-hour concert marathon – but his gigantic repertoire includes old as well as new music. He is the only organist to have received a Grammy Award (in 2011 for a Messiaen album). He has taught at New York’s renowned Juillard School since 2003, serving as head of the organ department since 2004. In 2017, he received an honorary doctorate from Washington and Jefferson College. In 2021, the American Guild of Organists named him “International Performer of the Year”. https://www.pauljacobsorgan.com/
Stephen Tharp began his international concert career in 1987, still as a teenager, and has since circled the world several times – in more than 60 tours and more than 1500 concerts on major organs – as a virtuoso, chamber musician, lecturer at master classes and jury member. Numerous works have been dedicated to him, he has given numerous world premieres and for selected occasions he also composes himself, for example his “”Easter Fanfares”” for the inauguration of the new tuba high pressure register in Cologne Cathedral. Several of his 16 solo albums have won prizes. In 2011 he was “”Performer of the Year”” of the New York section of the American Guild of Organists. https://www.stephentharp.com/
