Designing, building and installing a pipe organ is often a years-long process from initial client meetings through design, shop construction, installation, and voicing, to the dedicatory concert. At this Gallery Talk, Greg Bover will discuss the collaborative process along with the history of C. B. Fisk.
Greg Bover retired from C.B. Fisk, Inc. in 2020 after 42 years as Project Manager, designer, and Vice President for Operations. He supervised the design and construction of more than thirty Fisk instruments in churches, concert halls, and academic institutions across the United States and around the world, including The Memorial Church at Harvard, the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, organs at Kobe and Yokohama, and the firm’s magnum opus at the Cathedral in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Greg lives in Rockport with his wife Maureen Aylward. Long active in community building, he is a Past President of the Sawyer Free Library and the Gloucester Rotary Club. He continues to serve on the Government Affairs Council of the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, is a Trustee of the Awesome Gloucester micro-grant foundation and is a Corporator of the Cape Ann Savings Bank. Honors include a Restoration Award from the Gloucester Historical Commission, and citizenship awards from the Rotary Club, Unitarian Universalist Church, and the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce. An avid sailor and woodworker, he is board president, crew member, and ship’s carpenter on the 122-foot, 1926 schooner Adventure. Greg holds a Master’s Credential for vessels up to 200 tons. C.B. Fisk Expert, Greg Bover
