Although it is not considered an official holiday, Valentine's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, somewhere it is celebrated widely and somewhere quite modestly.

On this romantic holiday, which symbolises the imminent arrival of spring, we invite everyone who is amorous of music, to watch a video of the organ concert that was organised in the museum Collection at the end of January.

The project is realised jointly with the Belcanto Charity Foundation.

The recording of the concert is posted in the Video Archive of the museum Collection.

The organ is comprised of two major parts – mahogany case with a set of organ pipes, and the external console with the bench. The lower part of the case is decorated with panels, the upper part façade is divided into three acoustic windows, covered with yellow-green fabric. The windows are covered with gilded decorative, stopped pipes. Pilasters with ionic capitals ornament in the case upper part. Organ flue pipes are assembled in fourteen registers – five lower registers of stopped wooden pipes and nine middle and upper registers of open metal pipes.
The remote control has two manuals of sixty-one keys and foot keyboard with thirty keys. Vertical rows of register switches are to the right and left sides of the manuals. Volume control buttons are beneath the keys. A row of regulators and switches is above the manuals. Organ key action is electric. 286 mm wide electro-pneumatic device for paper music rolls reproductions is mounted at the top of the remote control.
