Kingdom Come: The Making of Casavant Opus 3875Get a behind the scenes look at the design, manufacture, and unveiling of a custom-built pipe organ, known as 'The King of Instruments,' for the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. This film records the artistry and craftwork of the men and women at the Casavant Frères workshop in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, and documents history in the making as world-renowned organist James David Christie took the stage at Helzberg Hall to play the organ for the first time. Ultimately, the film celebrates a city’s commitment to the arts and the imagination, invention, and careful human touch that inspires a creative legacy for musical artists and audiences to admire for generations to come.”
