Music of the Spheres
A music-loving donor – who wishes to remain anonymous at this time – has pledged a cornerstone gift to FREO which allows us to begin the restoration of our national treasure, the magnificent 1868 Henry Erben pipe organ, one of the most important historic musical instruments in the nation. Our donor has challenged us to raise $500,000 in additional funds to meet contingencies during the project, including work that must be done in the choir loft. The donor has restricted this cornerstone gift to the restoration which will take 18-24 months to complete. Removal of the organ is scheduled to take place in February 2024.
Music of the Spheres allows patrons of the arts, and lovers of music, to participate in this monumental undertaking. Donors at this level are pivotal to the completion of the project, as well as the ongoing life of the instrument after restoration. There are five levels:
Renaissance: $15,000
Seraphim: $10,000
Cherubim: $5,000
Archangel: $3,000
Angel: $1,500
To make a donation online, please type in the amount in the text box to the upper right of this page and enter Music of the Spheres under “Comments;” there is a field where you can make the donation “in honor of” or “in memory of.” A certificate will also be provided to donors to mark their gift. We hope you will join us on this historic journey.
