| FALL PICNIC Friday, September 18, 2009 6:30 PM 503 E. President St. JOBY BELL RECITAL/WORKSHOP Workshop Saturday, October 24, 2009 10:00 AM Recital Sunday, October 25, 2009 3:00 PM First Presbyterian Church 520 E. Washington St. LENTEN MUSIC WORKSHOP Monday, Jan. 25, 2010 7:00 PM On Monday evening, January 25th, at 7 p.m., our chapter will meet at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Isle of Hope, to enjoy the following events: Accessible voluntaries (or anthems) for the Lenten season, which begins on February 17th followed by Wine and cheese (with a complementary array of soft drinks) AND An "OOPS" sale, where we'll offer music duplicates to our colleagues at a deeply discounted price, with the proceeds to line the coffers of our AGO treasury. I'm hoping that five or six of our colleagues will volunteer to perform (and to provide information about) music for Lent that they have found very accessible. Please e-mail me asap to let me know that you'd like to participate! Although we do not have a pipe organ at St. Thomas, it is a very nice three-manual Rodgers that works beautifully in our acoustically-friendly space. Dr. Charles Tompkins Workshop Tuesday, March 9, 2010 7 PM Dr. Tompkins has entitled his workshop "Service Music from the Classical Literature: What to Practice When Time is of the Essence" (alternatively, "Relatively Easy Pieces That Connect with Congregations"). He will be citing (and playing parts of) works by such composers as Frescobaldi, Bach, Couperin, Boyce, Brahms, Alain, and others...works from historic organ literature. The workshop will be held in the Christ Church choir loft.....more instructions later about how to enter, and so forth...and will be followed by a reception in the church undercroft, a social time to chat with Dr. Tompkins and each other! There will be a $5.00 fee for non-AGO members |
