MAC2011 is a three-manual and pedal electric action organ in an eclectic style, contrasting considerably with the specialist, South German Baroque organ in St. Joseph’s Seminary (MAC2009). This was the firm’s first installation in Macau (mainpic from builder’s website).

The organ (Op. 3891) was dedicated on Palm Sunday, 17 April 2011. A dedicatory recital was played by Frédéric Champion, featuring organ works of Bach, Mozart, Widor, and Saint-Saëns, plus an improvisation by M. Champion.
