  • The Curtis Sesquicentennial Exposition Organ
    The Curtis Sesquicentennial Exposition Organ Opus 1416, Austin Organ Co., Hartford, Connecticut Opus 1416 was built in 1926 for the Sesquicentennial International Exposition held in Philadelphia. Afterward, the organ was purchased by publisher Cyrus Curtis, donated to the University of Pennsylvania, and installed in the newly-built Irvine Auditorium in 1928-29. It was named the Cyrus H. K. Curtis Organ in honor of Mr. Curtis. Opus 1416, at four manuals, 162 ranks (10,731 pipes) residing in Irvine Auditorium of the University of Pennsylvania, is the magnum opus (executed under a single contract) of the Austin firm. Built for Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia (in only six months!), it is a masterpiece of Symphonic organ building, remaining one of the very few, if not uniquely, unchanged symphonic instruments of the period. Gilt bust of Benjamin Franklin and Proscenium and principal stenciling detail. University Seal on proscenium beam. Irvine Auditorium: Interior. A grand space for a grand instrument. The majority of the organ is installed behind the stenciled scrims visible at left and right. A portion only of the Pedal Division is housed behind the non-speaking façade pipes. Grey reflector panels were installed in the 1997-2002 renovations. Opus 1416 was relocated to Irvine Auditorium during the building’s construction, occupying the two side second-balconies, originally designated to seat 600. Installation delayed the opening of the hall by nearly two years. The organ also happens to be the second largest instrument in Philadelphia area (after the Wanamaker Organ)! While comparatives and lists change and Irvine Auditorium: Exterior (pre-restoration).
