Ontko and Young Organ
1998 Glatter-Götz, Rosales organ at the United Church of Christ, Claremont, CA.

Collaboration in Claremont

We sound the trumpet this week on Pipedreams as we visit Claremont United Church of Christ in California to celebrate an extraordinary artistic partnership. American organbuilder Manuel Rosales created the tonal design and finishing for this new organ, which was built by Casper Glatter-Goetz of Germany. The results are remarkable, as you’ll hear in inaugural season recital performance by Cherry Rhodes and Ladd Thomas, resident musician Carey Coker-Robertson, and Parisian soloist Daniel Roth. Plus Diane Meredith Belcher shows off the incredible Claremont trumpets in a piece written specially for them.

Program Broadcast dates:

  • January 17, 2000

Featured Organs:

  • This instrument was created in a forward-looking partnership between a German organ-building company and an American tonal-designer. The results as you will hear are remarkable. For some interesting visuals and access to compact discs of various recitals held at the Claremont church.
