CCC, Orgues Létourneau to provide organ for Australian cathedral
March 28 2024 - 9:00AM
CCC is pleased to announce that it was awarded a contract by the
Perth Diocesan Trustees to provide a pipe organ made by Orgues
Létourneau to St. George’s Cathedral in Perth, Australia. Through
CCC’s government to government (G2G) contract, Orgues Létourneau
will design, construct, install, and voice a new pipe organ with an
attached three-manual console. The organ’s casework will be built
by Létourneau’s artisans from red oak while the instrument itself
will boast a total of 3,225 pipes.
Established in 1888, St George's Cathedral is the principal
Anglican church in the city of Perth, Western Australia, and the
mother-church of the Anglican Diocese of Perth. The diocese made
history in 2017 by electing the Right Rev’d Kay Goldsworthy as
Archbishop of Perth, the first woman to hold that office in the
Anglican church in Australia.
Headquartered in Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec, Orgues Létourneau is a
Canadian SME (small and mid-size enterprise) that has built more
than 140 organs since it was established in 1979. Its pipe organs
are found in concert halls, universities, and in houses of worship
across the world. Letourneau and CCC have a history of successful
partnerships, including in designing, building, and installing pipe
organs for St. Mark’s School of Texas in Dallas, Texas, for the
RiverCenter for the Performing Arts in Columbus, Georgia, and for
Selwyn College at the University of Cambridge in the UK.
For over 75 years, CCC has been helping Canadian companies to
establish successful commercial relationships with international
buyers. We provide practical business development advice,
referrals, and tools that are designed to enable each stage of an
