ELPF Bach Organ Project: One of the venture philanthropy projects included in the Catalogue a few years ago is the Constellation Performing Arts and Film Center to be constructed in the Kendall Square area in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In the large room will be placed a pipe organ based on an 18th century instrument that J. S. Bach himself admired in the central part of Germany where the master spent most of his working life. It is this instrument that the foundation has committed itself to funding.

December 2007:
Check out the organ project at the Taylor and Boody website link below. http://www.taylorandboody.com/opuses/opus_50_pages/opus_50_announce.html

September 2007:
The contract has been signed by the organ builder, Taylor & Boody and the Constellation Center. An initial grant has been awarded to the Constellation Center constituting the deposit. This means that a slot has been reserved in the organ builder schedule and production will begin in 2008.
