The East Carolina Musical Arts Education Foundation (“ECMAEF”) was formed in 1998 to maintain and promote the C.B. Fisk opus 126 pipe organ of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church as a cultural treasure for the benefit of Greenville and other communities throughout Eastern North Carolina, through concerts, educational programming, and collaborative musical ventures. The Fisk organ, a unique piece of musical and technical craftsmanship, is one of Eastern North Carolina's cultural treasures. It is our mission to open its resources to as wide an audience as possible, and to encourage continued interest in and performance of organ and choral music.
The tonal design of Opus 126 is strongly influenced by the French Romantic School, with pipe construction, materials, and voicing techniques following closely in the tradition of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll’s late work. The splendid acoustics of St. Paul’s, designed by Dana Kirkegaard of Kirkegaard Acoustics, Inc., are the perfect environment for an instrument in this style.
The continuation of the work of ECMAEF is dependent upon contributions from individuals who attend our concerts and who support our mission. All contributions are tax-deductible under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
