This is the first of two programs derived from the Eastman-Rochester Organ Initiative (EROI) that took place February 13-14-15 this past winter. The Roches-ter Chapter of the AGO, the Rochester Theatre Organ Society and public radio station WXXI-91.5FM col-laborated in a three-day organ orgy with Pipedreams host Michael Barone. These events featured new in-struments, at the Sacred Heart Cathedral (2008 Fritts organ) and Christ Church Episcopal (2008 GoART Casparini Project organ), along with an afternoon ex-travaganza at the Rochester Auditorium Theatre.
