Ten years on, an organ built for an abbey

Looking back 10 years, Skrabl built an organ for – interesting thought – an order of Trappist monks in an abbey in New York.

The Abbey of the Genesee is home to 24 contemplative monks and the eight-stop instrument was designed, in collaboration with the Abbot, to accompany the liturgy.

The opening recital was given by Ben Saunders, director of music in the Diocese of Leeds.
