Welcome to Episode 1 of Pipe Organs of NYC presented by the New York City Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, taking viewers on a virtual musical tour of the grand instruments of our Chapter.

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral is the feature of our first episode. The Cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Located on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue across from Rockefeller Center, the imposing Gothic edifice, designed by James Renwick Jr. and built between 1858 and 1879, is one of the most recognizable in the country.

Saint Pat's is home to the mighty Kilgen Organ (Chancel Organ, Opus 3920 (1928) and Gallery Organ, Opus 5918 (1930)).
