Abstract

The LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City houses one of the largest theater‐style auditoriums in the world. The hall seats 21,000 and incorporates a prominent pipe organ built by Schoenstein & Co. of San Francisco. The organ is characteristic of the American Romantic style, while employing a symphonic tonal approach with the richness and warmth of English instruments. A five‐manual console controls the 7,708 pipes of its 130 ranks, which are spread across seven divisions. This presentation will focus on the rationale for its tonal design, dictated in part by the acoustics of the hall, and provide live demonstrations of its capabilities.
