“As Foretold”

In November 2022, St. Michael’s joined the Royal Gorge Philharmonic to present “As Foretold”, an Oratorio based on the historical texts and scriptures prophesying the birth of Jesus Christ. We were fortunate to have an encore performance of this on November 18, 2023. The prophesies, presented in chronological order beginning in 2500 B.C., reference the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Composer and Conductor, Gerald Willis, led the Royal Gorge Philharmonic, and the performance included as special guests the St. Michael’s Seraphim Choir and the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Choir.

About St. Michael’s Organ and 2022 Upgrade

Click above image to watch the Organ Upgrade video.

St. Michael’s pipe organ was installed by Wilson and Associates of Colorado Springs in August 2003 and dedicated in June 2004. A number of parishioners aided Music Director Emeritus, Trent Ellis, in contributing and assembling its components, including the hand-fashioned decorative wood casing.

As one of the flagship organs in the state, St. Michael’s is blessed with an amazing instrument known for it’s beautiful sound. Over the recent year several critical components have begun to fail including the power switch, start up sequencer, and the control system which is running on Windows 98. The Organ Committee met throughout 2021 and selected the state-of-the-art OPUS II Control System. John Grunow was contracted and work concluded in April 2022.
