The year 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the installation of Trinity’s pipe organ: Taylor and Boody Organbuilders’ Opus 34. Over the past twenty-five years, countless organists have traveled to Staunton to play the instrument. It has been a featured instrument in regional American Guild of Organists events and the American Institute of Organ Builders. In addition to its primary purpose of leading congregational song and accompanying the choir, the organ has been played in concert, accompanied large scale works, is used regularly as a teaching instrument, and has accompanied a silent movie! Several events are planned over the course of this year to celebrate the incredible instrument
Sundays at 5 is our series of Choral Evensongs, special concerts and special liturgies, held about once per month, usually at 5 p.m. on Saturdays or Sundays in September through May. Evensongs are typically Tuesdays at 6 p.m. We welcome guest choirs, guest organists and other instrumentalists to be a part of these special events and services that are free of charge and open to the public. The Carl Broman Series enables a guest organist to present a full-length organ recital each year.
