In 2014, the Sewickley UMC pipe organ underwent a major restoration and renewal. The instrument was expanded to three manuals with the addition of a new Choir division and console, and the Great and Choir divisions were fully restored and revoiced.
At the time, the vision was to complete the entire instrument. Like many large projects, the final phase had to wait.
That future is now here!
