 ’s has been served by a Casavant pipe organ\, fondly nicknamed ‘Cassie
 ’. After careful discernment as Cassie aged\, we embarked on a new chapt
 er with the installation of a new British-made Makin Thirlmere digital org
 an\, the first of its kind installed in Canada. \n\n\n This instrument is 
 widely praised for its depth and versatility. It also offers us the incred
 ible potential to connect it to our historic Casavant pipes in the future.
  \n\n\n This project has been a true community effort\, and as we near the
  completion of our fundraising\, we look forward to sharing the richness a
 nd beauty of this instrument with you.\n \nAbout Organist Jenny Vincent\n
 Jenny Vincent grew up in Winnipeg where she obtained her undergraduate deg
 rees in Music and Education at the University of Manitoba. Her organ teach
 ers include Lawrence Ritchey in Winnipeg and Arie Keijzer in the Netherlan
 ds. Jenny has performed as a soloist throughout Canada and has enthusiasti
 cally shared the stage with other musicians\, choirs and colleagues from c
 oast to coast. She has performed commissioned works by some of Canada’s 
 most sought-after composers for organ and choir. In 2010\, she performed t
 he complete organ works of J. S. Bach in a series of eighteen concerts in 
 St. John’s\, NL.\nJenny is an artist who has shed the traditional notion
 s associated with classically trained organists. She has introduced her au
 diences to a wide spectrum of music\, everything from Bach to classic rock
 . Her performances are delivered with a sense of style and artistry that h
 ave made her one of Canada's finest organists. Although widely recognized 
 for her technical musicianship\; she is regularly praised for her interpre
 tation and connection to the pieces performed. Her playing has been descri
 bed as emotionally expressive and intimately connected. It is with this ve
 rsatility and passion that Jenny strives to make the organ a valued and ac
 cepted contemporary musical instrument.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
