The Richmond Chapter AGO is grateful to St. Bridget Catholic Church for welcoming us tonight and for cosponsoring this recital on their John-Paul Buzard pipe organ. The generosity of our patrons, who are recognized on the back cover of this program, makes this annual Series possible. We depend entirely on their support to fund the Series and ensure that it has a bright future. If you have not had the opportunity to become a Series patron, we welcome your tax- deductible donations at any time. You may donate toward the expenses of this recital by placing cash or a check in the offering basket at the back of the church as you exit after the performance.

These concerts have been in the past sponsored by the Trustees of The Scots’ Church, enabling all concerts to be presented free. This sponsorship is not available this year, and Douglas, who is a Patron of the Society, has sought sponsorship from the Society of the Opening Concert on September 2nd by Thomas Gaynor. Thomas is the winner of the third International Bach-Liszt Organ Competition in Erfurt/Weimar, Germany, the Sydney International Organ Competition and the Fort Wayne National Organ Playing Competition, as well as being a prize-winner in the St Albans International Organ Competition. The sponsorship sought is $1,750. Your Council does not have the unbudgeted resources to fund this and so we are inviting members to make a contribution towards a concert series which many of us have been privileged to attend. An initial member donation of $500 has been made. It would be great if we could show our support to Douglas as a Society Patron & in recognition of his leadership in general. A simple email reply to me or payment to our Treasurer Allan Smith will suffice.

  • Dr. Paul-Martin Maki to Kick-Off 50Th Anniversary Beckerath Organ Recital Series at St
    November 1, 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Doreen Schindler, Parish Administrator St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church 119 Main Street, Millburn, NJ 07041 [email protected] 973-376-0688 DR. PAUL-MARTIN MAKI TO KICK-OFF 50TH ANNIVERSARY BECKERATH ORGAN RECITAL SERIES AT ST. STEPHEN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, MILLBURN, NJ Millburn, NJ. Organist, Dr. Paul-Martin Maki, Director of Music of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Larchmont, New York and musical faculty member of Columbia University, will kick-off the 2019-2020 St. Stephen’s organ recital series on November 10, 2019 at 4 PM. This season marks the 50th anniversary of these popular recitals on the Beckerath Organ. The Beckerath tracker organ was designed and built by celebrated German organ builder, Rudolf von Beckerath, for St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in 1970 and quickly became a major cultural resource in the area. The mechanical keyboard action (as opposed to electronic) and pipework of this instrument, one of the finest in the state, is designed to play and sound much like the historical baroque organs of northern Germany from the time of Johann Sebastian Bach. St. Stephens has been sharing this exceptional organ with the greater community by presenting an organ recital series each year since the organ was installed. Through the decades, the series have featured many different performers known both locally and abroad. This special, celebratory season has been conceived to represent this history and debuts with Dr. Maki, one of the performers heard most often on the series over the years. Dr. Maki holds the degrees Bachelor of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts together with the Performer’s Certificate in Organ from the Eastman School of Music, the degree Master of Music from Syracuse University, and the Diploma (highest honors) from the Schola Cantorum in Paris, where he was a Fulbright stipendiary of the United States Government.

  • Organo Pleno Newsletter
    Organo Pleno Newsletter Volume 78, Number 3 April 2017 Newsletter of the Society of Organists (Victoria) Incorporated PO Box 315 Camberwell, Victoria, Australia 3124 www.sov.org.au A 0028223J ABN 97 690 944 954 in affiliation with the Incorporated Association of Organists (UK) Print Post Approved 100015777 President’s Message… ur collaborative event, Get Organ-ised 2017 with the City of Melbourne at the Melbourne Town Hall, took place on Labour Day, 13 March. Daniel Bittner was kept very busy with organ tours from 11.00am as was Colin Prohasky overseeing open console O sessions. Then at 3.00pm in a darkened auditorium Count Dracula made a sudden appearance before moving onto the organ console. An unfazed John Blackman, who sat in one of the original old historic chairs from the council chambers, then recounted the epic story of this legendary character accompanied by various explosive sounds from the organ. Listeners may have been a little flummoxed by the dramatic surges of sound, uncannily similar at times to passages from the Toccata in D Minor of ……… After the despatch of Dracula (was that whitened face really our Brendon Lukin?) and his unnerving narrator, five young organists, Thong Truong, Anna Duan, Hanford Lam, Edwin Kwong & Ned Wright-Smith, presented works from Clerambault to John Rutter. Each of these, the youngest aged 14 years, performed carefully prepared works well displaying the scope offered by this large instrument and the art of the organ. The Society appreciates support from Bernies Music Land and the City of Melbourne, who also provided the special effects of fog and atmospheric lighting that took the audience to the 'Transylvanian Castle'.
