SUSTAINABILITY
Go Green!
Gregoire’s final project for his D.M.A., “Toward a ‘Green’ Organ: Sustainability and Organ Building,” combined a personal passion and school-sponsored initiative of sustainability in researching methods organ builders use to directly and indirectly promote sustainable practices in organ building. The project garnered the attention and publicity from the institution, as well as publication of part one in the Spring 2015 issue of The Tracker by the Organ Historical Society.
