Portland, Maine
The Portland Chapter opened their Fall program year on Saturday, September 30 with a meeting and luncheon at the home of chapter member Ray Cornils and David Belleville in West Bath, Maine. The members and guests were delighted to hear a presentation of the new Noack Organ, Opus 166 (2022). Didier Grassin, organ builder/ President of Noack company and Ray Cornils shared the planning and design of this unique home organ. Many members also enjoyed a chance to play on the console of this new instrument. Our active Portland chapter this year is working diligently to support their chapter members and new musicians in the southern Maine area. This year we are establishing a chapter “Sharing” music library with both organ and choral music for local churches and musicians.
