DEAN’S MESSAGE Dear Colleagues: My article in last month’s Stoplist was an introduction to ONCARD (Online National Collection and Remittal of Dues). Chapter members who have email should have received an email by now from National Headquarters inviting members to logon to the ONCARD system and view/ update their profiles. If you do not have email or use the internet, your contact information is already on file at National Headquarters. Last month the Richmond AGO introduced ONCARD to the chapter through announcements, the newsletter, email, and social media. Since then I have received some questions and concerns about ONCARD, specifically: using a credit card versus paying by check; and the $3 charge in- curred for using a credit card to pay annual dues. Let me address both of these concerns. First, chapter members are NOT required to use a credit card to renew their annual membership . You may still remit your dues by check. When National Headquarters officially launches the 2014-2015 dues season later this month and begins invoicing members by email, you will have the option to pay either online with a credit card or with a check. If you prefer to pay by check, you will be directed to print or obtain a renewal form and mail your dues check directly to National. Paper invoices will be mailed to members who did not supply an email address to the Richmond AGO. Second, last month National Headquarters decided NOT to charge any individual or chapter for any credit card processing fees associated with online dues renewal or new applications. Apparently, in ten states it is illegal to charge processing fees with credit card usage. The new ONCARD system will be a learning process for everyone. I encourage you to contact either me or Mary Stutz, our temporary ONCARD liaison contact, should you have questions. Chris Martin Dean DEAN'S LUNCH The last Dean’s Lunch for the 2013-2014 season will be Monday, April 28, 12:15 p.m ., at Amuse Restaurant at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. RESERVATIONS are required for lunch. Contact Chris Martin at (804) 405-2528 or [email protected] EDUCATIONAL CONCERNS Our deadlines for trying the locally administered exams for AGO certification are now past. We do need to keep in mind :Happiness is being Cer- tified and National is more than happy to arrange listeners for our locally administered exams. When you have worked hard and finished suc- cessfully you do receive a certificate. “Rivals or a Team” is the name of the book written by Dr. Eileen Guenther, the featured speaker at our April meeting. Check out Amazon for a good price. You will want a copy for your own professional library. It offers some very helpful suggestions. Mary Campbell, Educational Coordinator THE RICHMOND AGO IS ON FACEBOOK Stay connected with Richmond AGO members and notices of meetings, recitals, and other events through the chapter's official Facebook page. Look for us on Facebook: Richmond Chapter - American Guild of Organists, or go to the Richmond AGO web- page www.richmondago.org and click on the Facebook icon. Visit the Churches Of Richmond and Central Virginia For organ specifications and virtual tours of the churches of Richmond and Central Virginia, please visit the Churches of Virginia web site at: http://www.churchesofvirginia.org SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NEW ORGANISTS Each year our AGO chapter awards as many as three academic year scholarships for organ study to young persons and adults. Our purpose is to develop new church organists, so awards are designated for those who have little or no prior organ study, express a desire to serve a church, and demonstrate sufficient keyboard skill and musicianship. We need your help in identifying applicants. Please encourage your students and acquaintances to apply. The application form and information is on our website <http://richmondago.org/new-organist-scholarships> and also in this issue of the Stoplist. You may copy these two pages and dis- tribute them. Auditions are on June 2 and applications must be received by Monday, May 19, 2014. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Coming Up Soon in the Organ Repertoire Recital Series!

We will remit the chapter portion of those dues to chapters by an ACH transaction or check. In conjunction with this we are excited to announce the national launch of ONCARD, a suite of secure online services that includes renewing membership and making contributions by credit card, updating addresses and personal information, and other features. Please access ONCARD now to review and update your personal information, especially your email address. Because full contact information for our members has not always been communicated to us, there is a chance that upon your first login to ONCARD you will find we have old and/or incomplete infor- mation on file for you. For this, we hope you are patient and forgiving as you make needed corrections. Many chapter officers have created financial and data ele- ments specific to their chapters. Filling out these fields in your record will ensure accurate invoicing and assist your chapter in the creation of substitute lists and chapter directories. In April AGO National Headquarters will send membership renewal notices by email to members who have a valid email address in our database, and by regular postal mail to members who do not. Those without an email address or computer access will pay dues to AGO National Headquarters from a paper invoice. All ONCARD transactions are conducted over a secure connection (https). Please visit the website today and login to ONCARD to review/update your personal information visit the AGOHQ website. You will be prompted for a username and password. Your username is your first initial plus your last name, as it appears on your TAO mailing label (e.g., jsmith for John Smith). The password is your Member ID, which can be found on your TAO label. An ONCARD FAQ document and other links are available on the AGO website. We look forward to working with you this year on this important project, and we welcome your feedback. Please we welcome suggestions for improvement. Sincerely, Leah Semiken, Manager of Membership and Chapter Relations CONCERTS AT THE CATHEDRAL OF THE SACRED HEART A free Good Friday concert of African American Spirituals and other music with vocalist Dr. Lisa Edwards Burrs and vocalist & flutist Anthony Smith will be held on Good Friday, April 18, at 12 Noon, at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.

What many once knew as the Swan Street parking lot was a small triangular parcel of land—the last piece of real estate George needed to complete his school and theater, at least as he had originally imagined it back in 1922. But the price the owner demanded was in George’s mind too high, and so the theater project went ahead without that property. In the ensuing years, the University of Rochester purchased the lot, and we are now completing the second phase of our Eastman Theatre Renovation and Expansion Project.

  • The RTOS Story
    The RTOS Story As told by the following brief history, the Rochester Theater Organ Society (RTOS) story is one of inspiration, luck, near failure, community involvement, perseverance and untold hours of dedication and hard work by an unstoppable band of enthusiasts and volunteers, all having the common goal of saving an important piece of Rochester's musical history through the preservation and presentation of a magnificent Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. RTOS Story - In the Beginning In the beginning there was an organ, a theatre, and an organist. Wurlitzer Opus 1951 was built at the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company factory in North Tonawanda, NY in the summer of 1928. At that time the 2916-seat Keith-Albee Palace Theatre (later renamed RKO Palace) was well on its way to completion on Clinton Avenue North and Mortimer Street in Rochester, NY. A native of Great Britain, Tom Grierson had experience playing organs in St Louis, Brooklyn and Buffalo, and eventually settled in Rochester. Here he had held several church organist positions and played engagements at several local theatres before being retained to play at what would soon become Rochester's most beautiful movie palace. Tom custom designed the organ, a 4-manual, 21-rank, ‘special’ which was probably shipped by rail to Rochester on September 12, 1928. Installation took three months and local lore suggests that due to Tom’s close relationship with Wurlitzer (he recorded many organ player rolls for them) and since Rochester was only a short distance from the factory, that the organ was the recipient of voicing and regulating services not afforded most Wurlitzer installations.

  • Eastman Notes July 2006
    WINTER 2011 FOR ALUMNI, PARENTS, AND FRIENDS OF THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE DEAN New music, new styles, and a new era The new Eastman East Wing was completed in December of 2010, and dedicated in a six-day festival we called “The New Eastman Evolution.” This issue of Notes shares with you some of the highlights of this ground-breaking project, one of the many “signal” moments in the rich history of the Eastman School of Music. For members of the Eastman family who have yet to see it, suffice it to say, it is dramatic. Aesthetically and acoustically brilliant, the project’s completion nevertheless means more than us just meeting critical space needs. It is a sym- bol of a new era at Eastman as it leads the way into the music of the 21st century. In our art form, there is a temptation to echo a popular press that routinely NOTES decries the slippage of music in the eyes and ears of a Volume 29, Number 1 fickle public. I would argue quite the opposite: this may Winter 2011 be one of the most exciting moments in all of music his- tory. But it is only exciting if one accepts the notion that Editor every art form throughout recorded history evolves, and David Raymond evolves constantly. Music, and the context within which Contributing writers it is presented, adapts not just to popular cultural trends, Ruth Cahn Douglas Lowry but as a function of its own constant improvisation. So Ramon Ricker many of the positions that Eastman has staked over the Jamal Rossi years serve up remarkable examples of innovative think- Helene Snihur ing, feeling and music making—of not merely respond- Contributing photographers ing to trends, but establishing new trends altogether.
