FPC’s pipe organ is one of the largest in Lakeland with over 3500 pipes. Thirty years after it’s original installation in 1994, six new sounds are being added including horizontally mounted “En chamade” trumpets in the balcony. Austin organs, the original builder, is making these additions, the final stage of a project that started in 2021 with the replacement of the organ’s console.
Due to Hurricane Milton, the Thursday and Friday evening concerts have been postponed. The Festival will continue Sunday with tours of the pipes, and a luncheon for donors. Updates on the Sunday events will be provided as we have additional information.
