Update on Dobson Op91 at Merton College, Oxford
Benjamin Nicholas, Reed Rubin Organist and Director of Music at Merton College, Oxford/Simon Jones
Christmas comes early for Benjamin Nicholas as he gets his hands on the new Dobson organ at Merton College, Oxford.
Congratulations and blessings to Merton, its choir and its music staff! I was tremendously surprised and overjoyed at the news of the Merton Organ’s installation. Lyn Dobson and I became acquainted in the mid-’80’s when I moved to central Iowa. I’m a Missouri native, but have been a staunch Iowan since 1965, a retired UMC pastor/organist/music educator/accompanist, still teaching voice, Piano, and Organ, and playing in an ELCA Lutheran Church here in Marshalltown, Iowa. Dobson’s have the care of our almost-100-year-old Kilgen organ. The CD that was cut and recently released is magnificent. I really appreciate this website as well. Thanks very much. Pstr.
