In its heyday the Hazel Wright pipe organ was heard by millions worldwide through the “Hour of Power” Christian TV program, broadcast from Southern California's iconic Crystal Cathedral
David La'O Ball, organist and head of music ministry at Christ Cathedral, stands by the Hazel Wright organ in Garden Grove, Calif., Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022. Nearly a decade and $3 million later, “Hazel” is back in the shimmering sanctuary and heavenly chords from her pipes are once again ringing out in its vaulted nave. GARDEN GROVE, Calif. — — There are few pipe organs in the world that have a nickname, a feminine pronoun and a Facebook fan page.
After Crystal Cathedral Ministries filed for bankruptcy, the organ was acquired along with the building in 2011 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange, which later launched a $72 million renovation of the sanctuary that was completed in 2019. But that was cut short by the coronavirus pandemic, which early on hit Italy as hard as any other country. Ruffatti paused work on the project and took the last flight out of Los Angeles on March 17, 2020, to return home. He finally returned in November 2021 after travel restrictions eased and completed the job in late January.
Ruffatti said that due to the remodel of the sanctuary, the acoustical environment for the organ is better than ever.
