Los Angeles First Congregational Church organ
The double organ in the First Congregational Church in Los Angeles is a true giant – to be precise, the fourth largest organ in the world with 241 stops (349 ranks) and 20,417 pipes. The larger and older part of the organ, the so-called Chancel Organ and the Transept Organ, was built in 1931 by the Skinner Company on both sides of the chancel and on the side galleries of the transept. In 1969, the Schlicker company installed the West Gallery Organ with its monumental prospect of copper pipes. The organ has a total of 18 different sections, all of which can be operated from two identical five-manual general consoles. A true masterpiece of organ building and technical possibilities!
The First Congregational Church is the oldest Protestant congregation in Los Angeles, but young and modern in its spiritual life, open to all who feel connected in faith and rich in artistic expression in worship and concert. The church building with its monumental organ ensemble was completed in 1932 and associates the distinctive architectural style of English cathedral Gothic – with a massive tower above the crossing and a rose window that blends harmoniously with the organ prospect.

Christoph Bull
If you need an organist in Hollywood’s dream factory, it’s best to ask Christoph Bull. Born in Mannheim and educated at German universities, Christoph has made Los Angeles his place of work for many years, currently as organist-in-residence at the First Congregational Church. Christoph is also a songwriter and rock musician and combines different musical styles with brilliant ease. At the also visually spectacular organ of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A., he recorded an album that reflects his musical versatility. He “plays” with other artists, for example, in his multimedia show “Organica”.
