Bishop Cummins Memorial Church, Catonsville, MD recently installed a Rodgers 967 organ

Back in the spring of 2001, Mr. Jonathan Moyer, organist and Minister of Music at Bishop Cummins Memorial Church and a graduate organ student at the Peabody studying with Donald Sutherland, contacted R. A. Daffer Church Organs regarding the search for a new organ to replace their aging Rodgers 330.  

The Rodgers 330 had served Bishop Cummins well since the early 1970s and Jonathan felt it was time to upgrade this fine old instrument with a new digital model.  He really wanted to have a complete pipe organ installed but felt that cost and space requirements would preclude this from happening.
 Therefore, he was searching for a digital instrument which he felt most replicated a real pipe organ with all of the nuances of a pipe organ, and an instrument to which he could add real pipes at some point in the future.  He spent about a month listening to models built by Rodgers and the other major
builder of digital organs.  

Jonathan ultimately decided on a new Rodgers Trillium 967 with Harris mechanical drawknobs, custom solid wood keyboards with rosewood sharps, and a custom 26 channel audio system.  The audio system will have the main divisions (Great/Swell/Choir) divided between the two front chambers.  The solo division is mounted (out of site) high above the altar area.  There is an antiphonal division located in the rear two chambers.  Also located in the rear two corners of the Sanctuary are two full range speakers which play the rear two channels of the exclusive Rodgers RSS room modeling software system.  

The dedication of this new Trillium 967 will be played by the well-known Hector Olivera at 7 PM on September 9th, 2001.
