Chapter Organists and Organs!

Organist:  George M. Giblin  III

George is the organist and choir director at All Saints Episcopal Church in Wolcott, CT.  He has served there since the Feast of Pentecost 2006.  He has held other positions in Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches since 1987.  George enjoys composing and arranging for anthems, hymns, and voluntaries.  He is currently the treasurer and registrar for our Chapter.

When he takes off his organ shoes, George is a licensed nursing home administrator at Crescent Manor in Waterbury, CT.  He also currently serves as president of the CT Chapter of American College of Health Care Administrators.

Organ:  Ahlborn-Galanti 2100

The Ahlborn-Galanti organ is a 2-manual digital organ with sampled pipe technology.  It was installed for Christmas 2006 at All Saints Church.  This organ, which includes the latest technological advances from Ahlborn-Galanti, replaced an aging electronic Allen.  The AG-2100 is a very versatile instrument, allowing the organist to create multiple stop lists, and save these "personalized organs" in the internal memory for instant recall.

Also check out the Specifications of the 2100 organ at the Ahlborn-Galanti Website.

The new organ has enhanced the music program at All Saints.  The organ supports a small, but dedicated, group of adult and youth choristers and a congregation that loves to sing.
