Alice Tully Hall was dedicated in October 1969 with a gala televised concert conducted by Leopold Stokowski. Miss Tully's gift of the 1,096-seat hall to Lincoln Center included a major pipe organ, which was opened in April 1975 with performances by E. Power Biggs, Catharine Crozier, André Marchal, Leonard Raver, Karl Richter, and Thomas Schippers. The 4,192 pipe instrument, installed at the back of the stage, was designed by Friedrich Jako, director of the firm, with stop-control and combination systems by consultant Lawrence Phelps. Jakob Schmidt of Lucerne, Switzerland, was the visual designer.
