EsteyFest ’24 is a conference dedicated to reed organs. It will take place in September, in Brattleboro, Vermont, which was home to the Estey Organ Company from 1846 to 1959. The Estey Organ Company was renowned for building over 500,000 reed organs, 3,000 pipe organs, and conducting early experiments with electronic organs. Register for the event on the ROS Website: https://www.reedsoc.org/index.php?cID=291The event is sponsored by the Reed Organ Society, the Estey Organ Museum, and the Brattleboro Historical Society. Attendees from around the world gather to share information, experiences, and friendship related to these musically-capable but often overlooked instruments.
The conference will be held from September 26 to 30, 2024. The Estey Organ Museum will serve as the conference headquarters, located on the grounds of the historic 1880 slate-sided Estey factory buildings.
Events in Brattleboro will include reed organ and pipe organ concerts, informative talks on the history and music of reed organs, and workshops focused on reed organ restoration and tuning. On September 30, the Estey Museum celebrates the 210th anniversary of Jacob Estey's birthday, with cake and refreshments.
An exciting one-day excursion to Palmer, Massachusetts is planned, where attendees will visit the Pease Collection of Historical Instruments, home to the largest collection of reed organs in the world today. 🎹🎶
