SMPC Organ ~ South Mecklenburg Presbyterian Church purchased the Allen Quantum Renaissance organ in 2009 in conjunction with the dedication of our beautiful new Sanctuary. It is a 3-manual, classical organ with 6 schools incorporated into the highly technical computer system: German, American, French, Classical, English, and Renaissance, each lending an authentic sound to the various styles offered during our worship services. It was presented during the dedication recital on November 8th, 2009 by Director of Music, Audrey McConnell. It is truly a glorious instrument!
