Opus 158

In 1956, Hong Kong Baptist College was founded by the Baptist Convention of Hong Kong as a post-secondary college committed to the provision of whole-person education. It gained university status in 1994. Today, Hong Kong Baptist University encompasses seven Faculties/Schools offering a wide range of undergraduate programs, as well as postgraduate programs leading to the award of master and doctoral degrees. It is one of Asia’s finest institutions of higher education.

The new Jockey Club Campus of Creativity (JC³) is currently under construction. This cutting-edge facility, scheduled to be completed in 2025, will be home to C. B. Fisk Opus 158. The building will include an innovative Multi-Purpose Space which will serve as a gathering place for students, a recital venue for small ensembles, and an organ teaching, practice, and recital studio.

Opus 158 is a three-manual, 33-stop instrument whose tonal design is at once historically informed and broadly eclectic. Students will have at their disposal authentic sounds from 18th-century Germany as well as 18th- and 19th-century France. They will access these tonal resources via a reliable and responsive carbon-fiber-based key action. We believe the opportunity for unfettered musical expression of a wide variety of the solo organ repertoire will be unmatched in Hong Kong.

The organ is scheduled for delivery in 2025.
