Organs of Cornell

Baroque Organ
Commissioned by the Department of Music, the organ is perfect for the music of J.S. Bach and his north German predecessors, and is versatile enough for solo and ensemble music from the 16th century onward. As a complement to the music department’s strengths in performance and research, the organ serves as a resource for top organ students, professional performers, composers and scholars at Cornell.
Aeolian-Skinner Organ
This organ was built for Sage Chapel in 1940, under the direction of G. Donald Harrison.
