A lasting gift of music for future generations

St. Andrew's is in the process of raising $1.8 million to support the building and installation of a new 'track-er' organ to replace our aging electro-pneumatic organ. This new instrument will be built by Richards, Fowkes & Co., and is designed to last for generations to come.

The new organ will directly benefit the spiritual life of the St. Andrew’s congregation and will also be an additional resource and gift to the cultural life of the Ann Arbor community in which St. Andrew’s has long played an active role.
