Organ buffs will be interested in some of the history of the Pilgrim Church organ. It is the largest church organ in South Australia. After a history of relocations the organ was rebuilt in Pilgrim Church by the local firm of Gunstar Organ Builders in 1970. Various additions and upgrades have been carried out since, mostly by the local firm of Georges Stephens Organ Builders. It is currently maintained by Richard Larritt organ builders.

This special event concert is supported by the Royal Society of Church Music and Sheila Bryce Publicity.
