A second life for UT's towering pipe organ
A towering two-story organ is getting a second life as part of a yearslong restoration process at the University of Texas . Why it matters: The ongoing effort is helping preserve a historic instrument while reviving the Butler School of Music's organ program, which once faced an uncertain future. Driving the news: Last week, workers installed 12-foot-long pipes at Bates Recital Hall after almost a year of restoration work — a lengthy process because only a handful of specialists can do the job. What they're saying: Organist Gregory Eaton, who joined the Butler School's faculty in 2019, has worked to restore both the instrument and the program. "I first saw the damaged pipes at my first concert here — before I was teaching here 12 years ago — and I thought, 'Oh, that's really too bad.' There's damage right in front of the organ," Eaton told reporters during the pipes' installation. Gregory Eaton plays the organ with its newly installed pipes.

UT's organ program dwindled — and the organ was rarely played
