The Casparini organ in Christ Church, Rochester NY

EROI or the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative is a project run by the Eastman School of Music with the goal of creating a unique collection of organ instruments in Rochester, New York.

The Italian Baroque organ

The first milestone of the project was the acquisition of an original Italian baroque organ.[1] The instrument was restored by German organbuilder Gerhard Woehl and installed in the Fountain Court of the Memorial Art Gallery, a museum of University of Rochester.[2][3]

The instrument has one manual, pull down pedals and is tuned in meantone.[4]

The Casparini Organ

The second instrument is a replica of the 1776 organ built by German organ builder Adam Gottlob Casparini for the Church of the Holy Ghost in Vilnius, Lithuania.[5] The replica was built by the GOArt research center and is installed[6] in Christ Church, Rochester, New York. The dedication took place in October 2008 during the yearly EROI festival.[7] Munetaka Yokota was responsible for the voicing of the pipes and Monika May oversaw the painting and gilding of the case.[8]
