Parkey Opus 16 Jeff Harbin Archer Festival Finale Dalton FUMC

Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan, Corvallis, Oregon

Each IOHIO (Instituto de Órganos Históricos de Oaxaca, A.C.) Festival builds on the success of its predecessors, making this one the best ever. It was also the most extensive, since the restored organ in Jalatlaco could be included in the concert programming.

• More than 120 people from eight countries and seven Mexican states participated in all or part of the scheduled activities. Of these, nearly a third were returnees.

• Eighteen Oaxacan, Mexican, and foreign musicians collaborated in nine concerts on nine restored organs over the course of six days.

From the builder

“Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow, or a communicated sense of fineness.”

—D. H. Lawrence

“It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.”    —Voltaire
