“Innovation with Integrity” is the theme of the 20th anniversary of Novus International, which is being celebrated around the world this year.

“It really is an exciting year,” Novus International Chief Sustainability Officer Joyce Cacho said during the company’s recent “Science in Action” day. “We started celebrating in January in India, we’re currently celebrating in China and we will have a really wonderful celebration here at global headquarters with our customers in June and the fun continues throughout the year.”

Part of the celebration will be the long-awaited unveiling of Leo the water organ. The students who visited Novus as part of “Science in Action” day got a sneak preview of Leo from Tricia Beal, Global Communications Director.

“Leo is a water organ based on the codexes of Leonardo da Vinci,” Tricia explains in the video. “We are composing music and actually creating a documentary on the history of this water organ.” The instrument, which is really a work of art, will make music depending on the amount of water flowing through the pipes. It will be officially unveiled, with music, May 6 at the Novus Annual Art Walk benefiting the Arts and Education Council.
