Enjoy a free, 30-minute public performance on the Casavant organ in the Community of Christ Temple. Built in 1992 and installed in the early months of 1993, the Casavant organ contains four manuals, 60 stops, 102 ranks, and is the result of more than 20,000 hours of planning and building. The 5,685 pipes are distributed on three levels behind the façade in an organ case that is 50 feet high, 40 feet wide, and eight feet deep. “Without question,” wrote former Kansas City Star music critic Scott Cantrell, “(this organ) is one of the most glorious organs in North America.”
2:30 p.m., 201 S. River Blvd. 816-833-1000, ext. 3030.
