Officially opened March 16 - 18, 2001
Robert E. Jacoby Symphony Hall
Time-Union Center for the Performing Arts
Jacksonville, Florida
Quimby Pipe Organs, Inc. rebuilt and installed this Casavant organ (Opus 553) for the Jacksonville Symphony reflecting the Symphony's decision to become the first American orchestra to install a rebuilt, historic organ in a new concert hall.
Casavant Opus 553 was contracted in 1912 and built in 1914 with four manuals, 63 stops, 70 ranks for the First Baptist Church of Syracuse, New York. In the late 1980's, when the congregation moved to a new building in the suburbs, the organ was put into circuitous storage that took it from New York to Illinois to Florida to finally back again to Illinois. Then, in early 1996, the Jacksonville Symphony found it in a warehouse in Chicago and it was later delivered to Quimby Pipe Organs, Inc., in Warrensburg, Missouri, for rebuilding and restoration.
