The Taylor & Boody organ at St. Helena’s is modern (installed in the church in 1985), yet reminiscent of the “golden age” of organ building and organ music in Europe between 1600 and 1750. The two-manual organ has 19 stops and more than 1,150 pipes housed in a beautifully crafted oak case. Please direct questions to Patricia Gould, 843.522.1712, ext. 214 or pgould@sthelenas1712.org; or Kelly Newnham, 843.522.1712 or knewnham@sthelenas1712; or visit www.sthelenas1712.org.
