About St. Michael’s Organ
St. Michael’s pipe organ was installed by Wilson and Associates of Colorado Springs in August 2003 and dedicated in June 2004. A number of parishioners aided Music Director Emeritus, Trent Ellis, in contributing and assembling its components, including the hand-fashioned decorative wood casing.
As one of the flagship organs in the state, St. Michael’s is blessed with an amazing instrument known for it’s beautiful sound. Over the recent year several critical components have begun to fail including the power switch, start up sequencer, and the control system which is running on Windows 98. The Organ Committee met throughout 2021 and selected the state-of-the-art OPUS II Control System. John Grunow was contracted and work concluded in April 2022.
