Also the Organist of the New York Sacred Music Society, [7] he took over from Bristow. His name is ubiquitous in concerts with the founder of the Philharmonic, U. C. Hill(1802–1895), and at any new Erben organ exhibition. Harrison is still listed on the program as “Organist of the Cathedral” at the grand exhibition of the new 1852 Erben organ, which was destroyed by the 1866 fire. [8] In 1861, he is listed as “Organist and Conductor”, with a quartet choir: Mrs. Sweeney, Soprano; Miss E. Pearson, Contralto; Antony Rieff, Tenore; and C. Blochinger, Basso.
