Guest Organist & Carleton University Alumna – Maria Gajraj Biography:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maria Gajraj is a Montr\u00e9al-based organist and Doctoral Candidate at McGill University. Her research focuses on 20th-century Caribbean organ repertoire. She is the co-founder of Sapphonix Collective, which promotes women, queer, and racialized classical musicians, and has been featured on CBC radio. Maria has performed internationally, at venues like Salle Bourgie, Maison Symphonique, and in series such as Pro Organo and Bergen Orgelsommer. A recipient of the Godfrey Hewitt Scholarship (2022) and other awards, her doctoral research is funded by the FRQ (Fonds de Recherche du Quebec). In her concert programs, Maria is passionate about highlighting women and composers of colour. As Deirdre Piper wrote in \u201cPipelines\u201d, Maria\u2019s \u201cspirited, clean, and colourful performance lent real meaningful significance\u201d to this music. By creating engaging concert programs, and by featuring the organ in innovative and multidisciplinary contexts, Maria strives to break stereotypes, and to make the organ more accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ongoing Maintenance:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The pipe organ is a majestic instrument requiring ongoing and in-depth care. There are 5,179 pipes spanning 7 storeys with many components to clean and maintain.  As the instrument turns 60, there are lofty goals for repairs including the facade pipes, pedal reed and beyond.  A current fundraising goal is $50,000 to address more immediate repair needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
