We are honored and delighted to announce the construction of a new organ for the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. The commissioning of Opus 100, celebrating Curtis’s 100th anniversary, comes during our 50th anniversary year and is the first instrument to be constructed in our new workshop. Alan Morrison, holder of the Haas Charitable Trust Chair in Organ Studies, directs the department and is the primary instructor for its five students; he is joined by Jeffrey Brillhart, who teaches teaches improvisation. The design of the new instrument for Field Concert Hall is a collaboration between Dobson and a committee of Curtis alumni. Installation begins in 2025, with completion in 2026.

Installation of our Op. 99, a new four-manual instrument for St James’ Church, King Street, in Sydney, Australia, began in January 2024, with voicing and tuning completed in June. Commissioned to mark the parish’s bicentenary, the organ was dedicated on Sunday 21 July 2024 by the Rev’d Richard Hurford, Bishop of Bathurst and a previous rector of SJKS. The new instrument was celebrated in festive services that week and by a concert presented by James O’’Donnell.

In 2009, in celebration of our company’s 35th anniversary, we made an online exhibit of some of Lynn Dobson’s drawings. One of the most highly-regarded case designers of his generation, Dobson has proved to be equally at home in modern or historically-inspired idioms. Lynn A. Dobson: Drawings & Projects presents a selection of work from 1974–2009, and includes unrealized designs as well as built instruments.
