31st NCMC Organ Crawl – Dare to Dance: Nantucket’s Pipe Organs Trip the Pipes Fantastic

On Saturday, October 8, 2022 the Nantucket Community Music Center will present the 31st Nantucket Organ Crawl. Beginning at St. Mary’s church at 9:30am and then moving throughout Town, the Organ Crawl will feature five of Nantucket’s mechanical action pipe organs and is presented free of charge.

The Organ Crawl offers a rare opportunity to hear in a single morning five mechanical pipe organs on Nantucket, which were built and renovated over a span of nearly 200 years. Stroll from church to church along Nantucket’s historic streets to hear and experience the island’s pipe organ treasures featuring Jeff Cutts, minister of music, First Congregational Church, and Joe Hammer, director of music and organist, St. Paul’s Church (Episcopal). Attend all five performances, or simply drop in and drop out as your schedule permits.
