    Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative and the Film/Music Cluster of the University of Rochester present October 23–26, 2014 Eastman School of Music Rochester, New York The Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative (EROI) When the Eastman School of Music opened its doors in 1921, it housed the largest and most lavish organ collection in the nation, befitting the interests of its founder, George Eastman. Mr. Eastman provided the School with opulent facilities and stellar faculty, creating an expansive vision for organ art and education in the 20th century. Over the years, the Eastman School has built on this vision by offering one of the most distinguished organ programs in the world. In keeping with this tradition of excellence, the Eastman School of Music has embarked on a long-range plan, the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative (EROI), which will extend George Eastman’s vision into the 21st century. With the aim of making Rochester a global center for organ performance, research, building, and preservation, the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative of the Eastman School of Music is assembling a collection of new and historic organs unparalleled in North America. An incomparable teaching resource, this collection offers access to organs of diverse styles and traditions to talented young musicians from around the world. Tourists, scholars, and music lovers are drawn to Rochester to hear the varied sounds of these extraordinary instruments. In its short thirteen-year history, EROI has completed an initial phase that has included the placement of four magnificent instruments in downtown Rochester. A historic Italian Baroque organ was installed in the University of Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery in 2005.

In preparation for the OHS 2009 Cleveland Convention, an exploratory team of Joseph Dzeda, Joseph McCabe and Nicholas Thompson-Allen surveyed Ernest Skinner’s opus 328. Located in Cleveland’s massive Public Auditorium & Convention Center, the five-manual organ is not only the largest instrument Skinner built, but also one of the last organs largely untouched by rebuilds, alteration or even restoration. Subject to much media attention over the past few weeks, the building and organ face an uncertain future. Together we can save this organ and help secure it’s future. Please take a few moments today to send a note to Cleveland city officials thanking them for their continuing preservation of this magnificent Skinner pipe organ and its architecturally significent home.
