The restoration of Saint George's Round Church following the fire of June 2, 1994 has included measure that ensure that the church continues as a place of worshipful music and also a unique historic venue for performance. The church's circular shape and umbrella dome give it remarkable acoustic qualities; other refinements during reconstruction, such as choosing plaster of special hardness for the organ bay, enhances the church's voice.
On October 7, 2002, Opus 76 of the Orgues Letourneau Ltee () arrived at the Round Church. This began the final stage of an exciting project of a 25 stop Mechanical Action instrument from one the world's premier organ builders. The installation and voicing were completed in early November.
