If you see one or more of them at a Chapter Event, be sure to give them a warm welcome, and to introduce yourself! Welcome new member, Sarah Becker! Here is some information about Sarah: Sarah Becker is a Fort Worth native who grew up listening to great music at University Christian Church. After graduating from Trinity University in San Antonio she went on to pursue a MMus in Musical Instrument Research at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She was recently named organist at Ridglea Christian Church in Fort Worth. Member and Chapter Happenings Issac Foreman Premiers His Composition One of our young chapter members, Issac Foreman, age 16, is serving as interim organist at First United Methodist Church in Hurst (home of a 2014 three manual Casavant pipe organ). Each year the church sponsors a grand Christmas music program for the community at large, with three pres- entations of the program during two days - a packed house at each production. The program fea- tures a large orchestra supplemented by organ and large choir conducted by Greg Shapely, Minister of Music. It is always a first class production that would befit Bass Hall in Fort Worth. The program this year was presented during December 13th and 14th. Issac held his own very well accompany- ing the orchestra and the choir. At the offertory, Issac performed his Fantasie on Adeste Fideles - a sophisticated, complex and very musical composition exploiting all the resources of the organ in both quiet and loud passages. At the production I attended, the audience was so amazed that they gave Isaac two standing ovations! Issac came to the Fort Worth Chapter when he was 11 years old for the chapter's Pipe Organ Encounter, and intense week long program to promote the organ to those under age 18. Issac is gaining great experience as an interim organist in a church with a very active music program. He studies piano and organ at Texas Christian University through a special program for young gifted musicians. A couple of years ago he taught himself to use Finale software notation and started to compose. He truly is one of our rising stars! (Submitted by Ed Ackermann, CAGO) 3 PIPEDREAMS IS BACK ON THE AIR! The Dallas and Fort Worth AGO Chapters are jointly sponsoring the WRR 101.1 FM radio broadcast of Pipedreams during calendar year 2016. WRR had to drop the program the end of September, 2015, due to lack of funding. Executive Committees of both chapters approved the project. The pro- gram will be aired on WRR 101.1 FM Classical Radio every Sunday night from 10 to 11 p.m. during 2016 (and WRR also agreed to include broadcasts for the last 3 Sundays of December, 2015). The joint chapter venture helps fulfill the AGO mission by promoting the organ and engaging wider audiences. Cost of the contract was $3,870 with each chapter paying 50% or $1,935. That’s a low cost considering that engaging a concert organist from the major booking agencies is in the range of $3,000 to $5,000 just for one recital presented to usually a rather limited audience. The WRR broadcast has a 100 mile radius and reaches many who otherwise never hear organ music. The chapters will have the opportunity to consider renewing the contract for 2017 next October at the same price and provisions as the 2016 contract. Each broadcast recognizes both chapters as sponsors at the beginning and at the end of each broadcast. Other recognition includes: - A one minute ad within five minutes preceding and following the broadcast to promote the both chapters’ AGO outreach to the community at large and to solicit members and donations. - Five separate ads, each repeated up to 24 times and aired at the best time available Mon- day – Sunday during prime broadcast time (5 a.m. – 10 p.m.) during 2016. - A poster included on WRR’s website’s home page in a rotating banner. The project was proposed by Ed Ackermann, a member of both chapters. The chapter deans ap- pointed Ed as Pipedreams Project Coordinator to manage any actions required during the contract year, including drafting and coordinating ad material to be aired or included on the WRR website. -Submitted by Ed Ackermann 4 MARK YOUR CALENDARS! On Saturday, February 13 from 10 a.m. – noon, Stefan Engels will present an organ masterclass at First Presbyterian Church of Fort Worth. The focus of this masterclass will be on romantic German repertoire. All are encouraged to attend and visitors are welcome. For more information please contact Robert August at 817-335-1231 or [email protected]. Stefan Engels joined Southern Methodist University in fall 2014 as the new Leah Young Fullinwider Endowed Centen- nial Chair in Music Performance at the Meadows School of the Arts. Engels joined SMU from one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious musical institutions, the University of Music and Theatre “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” in Leip- zig, Germany, where he had served as professor of organ since 2005. Prior to that he was associate professor of or- gan and chair of the organ department at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey. During his appointment in Leipzig, Engels helped shape the university’s Church Music Institute as a center for organ performance and organ pedagogy of international acclaim. He also founded and served as artistic director of the European Organ Academy Leipzig, which attracts faculty and students from around the world. In 2009 the Academy was given a generous grant from the German Academic Exchange Service. Engels is also the initiator and chair of the jury for the International Competition in Organ Improvisation in Leipzig. In 2006 Engels was named artistic director of the Jordan International Organ Competition based at Columbus State University in Columbus, GA. As a juror, he is in frequent demand at international organ competitions such as the Mendelssohn Competition, the Bach Competition and the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb, all in Germany, as well as the St. Albans International Organ Festival and the Canadian International Organ Competition. Furthermore, as an advocate and specialist for the music of the late- Romantic German composer Sigfrid Karg-Elert, he founded the Karg-Elert Festtage in Leipzig, demonstrating and dis- covering the unique works of this Leipzig composer. Engels maintains a vigorous international concert schedule and is a sought-after teacher, having presented lectures and master classes across Europe, North America and South Korea. Recital engagements have included Smetana Hall in Prague, St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, Victoria Hall in Geneva, the Berlin Philharmonic, Gewandhaus Leipzig, Torch Centre in Seoul, St. Augustine in Vienna, Chartres Cathedral, Hallgrimskirkja Reykjavik, Sydney Cathedral, St.

    Transfigured Nights Let everything that has breath... 2017–2018 Season Episcopal Church of the Transfi guration Dallas, Texas Prelude~ Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Hallelujah! – Psalm 150:6 The fi nal verse of the fi nal Psalm in the Bible seems a very apt theme for the fourteenth season of Transfigured Nights, as we “pull out all the stops” in various ways to bring you another year of enriching musical offerings, both within and apart from the context of worship. Our season includes three Evensong services: two to frame the series– for Holy Cross Day in September and St. Barnabas Eve in June; and one to conclude the Sundays after the Epiphany in February. Our November offering will feature Maurice Durufl é’s beloved Requiem in its original version for organ and choir, with baritone and cello soloists. Two superb organists with connections to Transfi guration will put the Jerry D. Godwin Organ, Richards, Fowkes & Co.’s Opus 17, through the paces with recitals in October and January. The pinnacle of the season will occur in April with our Pipes & Strings evening of chamber music, and, of course, our Advent Procession of Lessons & Carols will once again prepare us for a holy celebration of the Nativity. Art Music Mondays returns for its seventh season with four concerts presented in the Performance Hall by area musicians and guests. We hope to see you often during the coming season and that your spirit will be refreshed and renewed by these offerings. We are ever-grateful to our patrons, musicians, and volunteers who continue to make all this possible, and look forward to another year of music.
