"Follow the Pipes"

 "Follow the Pipes" is a series of "organ crawls" featuring various venues and organists of the Fort Wayne area. The host organist will do anything from explain the workings of a pipe organ to playing a mini recital often highlighting the stops or registrations being used on a particular selection.  Each day a group assembles at the first location, stays for about an hour and then proceeds to the next location. Depending on the availability of organists each day will include two or even three stops. Participants are welcome to join at any location.

Below, if this year's schedule.

This entire event is in partnership with the Fort Wayne "Three Rivers Festival".
