Visit Historic St. John's Lutheran Church in Milwaukee.
The Organ Recital Is July 24th



The organ is a Barckhoff-Wangerin, meaning Barckhoff built it in 1890 and W expanded it somewhat in 1919 at the 50th anniversary of the mixed choir. In 1996 members did extensive work with the valves and leathering. It has 39 ranks.
"It really shakes St. John's church. Which takes a lot considering how big the building is. 
From the highest pitches to the low rumbles of the pedal; 
every note on the organ sings through the glorious space like a wonderul human voice."
