There's a $2M Pipe Organ in Madison and You Should Hear It
from City Cast Madison · host City Cast
There’s a giant among us and it lives at the Overture Center for the Arts. It’s a 30-ton pipe organ. It cost more than two million dollars, contains more than 4,000 pipes and is used in performances ranging from Latin Jazz to Bach to collaborations with the UW-Madison Wind Ensemble. The man who knows it best is Greg Zelek, the principal organist for the Madison Symphony Orchestra. He’s the curator of the Overture Concert Organ, and he oversees all of the orchestra’s organ programming. If you caught Greg’s performance last Friday, you’ll want to learn more about why he’s so moved by organ music. Learn about the rest of this season’s organ concerts.
