Sacred Hearts Fathers Edward Popish, left, and Lane Akiona stand at the microphone in St. Augustine Church in Waikiki as musician Timothy Cubero Jr. plays on the church’s new Rodgers 599 Three-Manual Drawknob Organ on April 27. The occasion was the first in a series of concerts featuring the new instrument, which was custom-installed in March to the unique acoustics of St. Augustine’s high-ceilinged interior. The organ has 92 pipe organ voices and 32 orchestral voices. Cubero played works by Samuel Barber, J.S. Bach, Cesar Franck and Tomaso Albinoni which showcased the instrument’s power and musical color. (Courtesy photo)
