EROI Festival Archive

An important component of the EROI Project is the EROI Festival, an annual academic conference devoted to special topics in organ performance and building.  The first EROI Festival was held in 2002 with the aim of bringing together invited performers, scholars, and builders in order to share experiences and research and to enrich organ education at Eastman and the wider community.  Since then the event has grown into a conference of international stature.
