Pipe Organs of Greenland
Randall Harlow's research project "Pipe Organs of Greenland" is the culmination of ten weeks of independent research in Greenland sponsored by the Presser Foundation. Kalaallit Nunaat, or Greenland, is the only Inuit culture in the world with a vibrant and living pipe organ tradition. These pages are an expansion of an article from the January, 2010 edition of The American Organist, “The Church of Greenland and the Inuit Organ Tradition.”
