Daniel Roth receives award

Wigton Pipe Organs, Inc., Dryden, MI, has built a new organ, opus 20, for Sts. Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church of Sterling Heights, MI. The free-standing case was placed near the main axis of the diamond-shaped church, which seats about 300. Use of valuable sanctuary floor space was minimized by designing a small pedestal for the organ, and by placing the Pedal stops and wind system in a shallow chamber behind the back wall. The case is made of rift- and quarter-sawn white oak, with pegged mortise-and-tenon joints.

Nearly a hundred organ historians, organ builders, restorers, curators, organists, and officials of cultural institutions convened in the Mexican city of Oaxaca from November 29 to December 3, 2001, for a congress, "The Restoration of Organs in Latin America." Organized by the Instituto de Organos Históricos de Oaxaca under the direction of Cicely Winter and Edward Pepe, the meeting centered around the old baroque-style organs of the state of Oaxaca, of which fifty-one have presently been discovered and six restored to playable condition.
