EROI or the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative is a project run by the Eastman School of Music with the goal of creating a unique collection of organ instruments in Rochester, New York.
The Italian Baroque organ
The first milestone of the project was the acquisition of an original Italian baroque organ. The instrument was restored by German organbuilder Gerhard Woehl and installed in the Fountain Court of the Memorial Art Gallery, a museum of University of Rochester.
The instrument has one manual, pull down pedals and is tuned in meantone.
The Casparini Organ
The second instrument is a replica of the 1776 organ built by German organ builder Adam Gottlob Casparini for the Church of the Holy Ghost in Vilnius, Lithuania. The replica was built by the GOArt research center and is installed in Christ Church, Rochester, New York. The dedication took place in October 2008 during the yearly EROI festival. Munetaka Yokota was responsible for the voicing of the pipes and Monika May oversaw the painting and gilding of the case.
