Organs
at St Mary's Cathedral Sydney
FIRST
EVER CD FEATURING LÉTOURNEAU ORGAN NOW ON SALE
This is an information site
about the organs at St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, Australia.
Orgues Létourneau Ltée built a new three manual 46 stop organ
on a new gallery in the transept as the first
stage of a plan to build two new organs for the
Cathedral. It was dedicated on 19 December 1999 by Cardinal Edward Bede Clancy,
Archbishop of Sydney.
The existing two manual 22 stop organ built in
the rear gallery by Whitehouse Bros was
inaugurated on 17 March 1942.
A mobile console is located on the nave floor in
addition to the gallery consoles to control both
these instruments.
There is also an incomplete two manual 16 stop
organ in the triforium above the chancel that was
built by Ronald Sharp between 1959 and 1971.
A two manual 6 stop mechanical action organ built
by Bellsham Pipe Organs in 1985 is located in the
crypt.
