New York Cho Dae Church
Jackson Heights

The New York Cho Dae Church of Jackson Heights is an active church with a large music program. Under the leadership of the Rev. Seung Kim, pastor, the church has grown to a position of leadership in the community. A three-manual 50-stop drawknob Renaissance organ was installed and complements the 60-voice choir and the orchestra at the Sunday morning 11:00 service.  The members of the orchestra are usually from the Juilliard School and Manhattan School of Music.

Deacon Shawn Yang, shown at left with his wife Hani, organist, said she has been enjoying the new instrument. "Hani was familiar with Allen when she lived in Korea and she recommended an Allen for our church here, " said Mr. Yang. Ordained Deacon Young Kang, who greatly helped with the purchase of the new organ for the New York Cho Dae Church, was pleased with the choice also.

Two large bouquets of flowers grace the altar.  These bouquets were beautifully designed and arranged by a member of the church over a period of six hours, during the installation of the organ, providing a beautiful atmosphere for all to enjoy through the senses of both sight and smell. The photo at right shows the church darkened for Lent.

Robert L. (Bob) Wyatt, left, and installation tech Daniel H. (Dani) Hunter, Jr., listen to the sound of the new organ on the day of installation. New columns, right of the photo, are in the process of being built to cover the external speaker cabinets.
