Robert Burns King was graduated from Furman University with degrees
in Organ and French and holds the Master of Sacred Music degree from
Union Theological Seminary in New York where he studied organ with
Vernon deTar of the Juilliard School. As a Fulbright scholar, King
studied in Paris with Jean Langlais and Maurice Duruflé and was the first
American to win the Prix de Virtuosité from the Schola Cantorum of
Paris. He has performed in Germany, France, Italy, Scotland, and
Portugal, and has appeared with the North Carolina Symphony and as
recitalist at Regional Conventions of the American Guild of Organists.
The George M. Thompson Organ was hand crafted during a ten-month
period in 1998-1999 by the Andover Organ Company of Methuen,
Massachusetts. In 1998, the company celebrated a distinguished half-century
of organ building, rebuilding, restoration, and maintenance. Its
“Opus 111” represents the 111th completely new organ built by the
company since its inception in 1948.
About half the instrument’s cost was paid from the George M. Thompson
Memorial Organ Fund, an endowment established by the UNCG Alumni
Association in 1968 to honor a well-remembered music faculty member
who taught at the University from 1923 until his retirement in 1963.
The tracker (mechanical action) instrument was, as befits a school of
music, essentially designed as a teaching instrument: one suitable for
performing all styles of organ music. Its twenty-eight foot height
encompasses nearly two thousand individual tin and wood pipes
distributed among thirty-five ranks (sets of pipes) controlled by three
manuals (keyboards) and a pedalboard.
The organ’s stained ash, oak, and mahogany case complements the
cherry-stained wood floor in the 130-seat elliptically shaped hall.
Electrically controlled banners may be lowered from the walls to adjust
acoustics when the hall is utilized for piano, voice, and instrumental
performances not involving the organ.
