Appeal
Objective In
1997 a National Trust Restoration Appeal was launched to raise $58,000 to restore an 1871
George Fincham organ, and to install this organ in the historic Anglican Church of St
George the Martyr, Queenscliff.
Church of St George the Martyr,
Queenscliff
|
A successful outcome
to this Appeal has had the following benefits :-
- Provided a redundant Fincham
organ with a suitable new home, thus preserving a significant piece of Victoria's fine
organ heritage;
- Provided the historic Church
of St George the Martyr with an organ eminently suited to its
interior environment, in terms both of style and acoustics;
- Allowed St George's Church to
play a leading role in the expanding musical life of the Borough of Queenscliffe, and
thereby to further its outreach to residents and visitors.
Further donations to
this appeal will assist with the ongoing maintenance and preservation of
the organ.
