What happens when two prominent organbuilders merge into one power-house company? Greatness is the result! The merger of the Skinner Company and the Aeolian Company in 1932 to form Aeolian Skinner sparked the development of the “American Classic” style. We’re listening to a few of Aeolian-Skinner’s installations, great and small.

A driving force in the creation of the Organ Historical Society, few have served and influenced a profession in as many capacities as Barbara Owen. Throughout seven decades she was an organbuilder, organ restorer, researcher, author, advocate, consultant, musician, music editor, lecturer, hymn writer, and librarian. This week on the King of Instruments we will listen to instruments and music for which Barbara Owen had a great passion.
