Joan Lippincott AMERICAN GUILD OF ORGANISTS ENDOWMENT FUND DISTINGUISHED ARTIST AWARD RECITAL AND GALA BENEFIT RECEPTION HONORING Joan Lippincott FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 2017 PHOTO CHRISTIAN STEINER PHOTO JOSEPH ROUTON PRINCETON UNIVERSITY CHAPEL PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY Lippincot_AD_MGZN.indd 1 4/12/17 7:56 AM April 21, 2017 Dear Friends, ELCOME TO THE 2017 AGO Endowment Fund Distinguished W Artist Award Recital and Gala Benefit Reception honoring our beloved friend and colleague, Joan Lippincott. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Office of Religious Life at Princeton University for allowing us to share their beautiful Chapel and magnificent pipe organ with you this evening. We are deeply blessed by Joan’s lifelong career as a teacher and performer. Through her performances, recordings, and students, she has touched the hearts and stirred the souls of millions of people she will never know. We are forever grateful for her gift of music and her enthusiastic support of the American Guild of Organists. We are also grateful for your support of the AGO—the largest organization of its kind in the world promoting a single musical instrument and the performers and listeners who enjoy organ music—through your gifts to the AGO Endowment Fund this evening. Although many organ degree programs at institutions of higher education are being threatened—even in Princeton—the American Guild of Organists, founded in 1896, is here to stay. Your support of the AGO Endowment Fund helps to ensure that we will. The AGO Endowment Fund secures the future of the Guild through educational programs such as Pipe Organ Encounters that introduce young people to the organ and encourage their study of the instrument. The AGO is proud of this program, our most effective means of ensuring that there will be organists in churches and concert halls for generations to come. Finally, we extend our deepest gratitude to Scott Dettra, John McElliott, and Eric Plutz, for joining Joan in preparing such a colorful and interesting program of organ repertoire for us to enjoy. Thank you again for your support and for being here this evening! Sincerely, Michael Bedford, AAGO, CHM President The mission of the American Guild of Organists is to foster a thriving community of musicians who share their knowledge and inspire passion for the organ.

  • A Pictoral History of the Boston Music Hall and the Great Organ
    A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE BOSTON MUSIC HALL AND THE GREAT ORGAN by Ed Sampson, President, Methuen Memorial Music Hall, Inc. 2018 Few instruments in the history of pipe organs in America have had as long, or as distinguished, a career as the Boston Music Hall Organ. The first concert organ in the country, it remains today one of the outstanding organs in America. The need for a large and centrally-located concert hall for Boston was discussed at the annual meeting of the Harvard Musical Association, founded in 1837 (Henry White Pickering (1811-1898), President) on January 31, 1851. A "Music Hall Committee", comprised of members Robert East Apthorp (1812-1882), George Derby (1819-1874), John Sullivan Dwight (1813-1893), Charles Callahan Perkins (1822-1886), and Dr. Jabez Baxter Upham (1820- 1902), was appointed to address the matter. The Boston Music Hall was built in 1852 by the Boston Music-Hall Association, founded in 1851 (Jabez Baxter Upham, President) and by the Harvard Musical Association, that contributed $100,000 towards its construction. It stood in the center of a block that sloped downward from Tremont Street to Washington Street; and was between Winter Street on the south and Bromfield Street on the north. Almost entirely surrounded by other buildings, only glimpses of the hall's massive granite block foundation and plain brick walls could be seen. There were two entrances to the Music Hall: the Bumstead Place entrance, (named after Thomas Bumstead (1740-1828) a Boston coachmaker), off Tremont Street (later Hamilton Place) opposite the Park Street Church; 1 and the Central Place or Winter Place (later Music Hall Place) entrance off Winter Street.

  • FREDERICK SWANN Biography
    Download as a Word doc FREDERICK SWANN Biography Frederick Swann is past President (2002-2008) of the American Guild of Organists, an organization of over 20,000 members in Chapters throughout the United States and several foreign countries. He is Organist Emeritus of the Crystal Cathedral and of the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, and Organ Artist-in-residence at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Palm Desert, California. Mr. Swann is also University Organist and Artist Teacher of Organ at the University of Redlands. One reviewer noted that Mr. Swann has probably presided over more ranks of pipes and stopknobs than any other organist in history. This is perhaps true given the size and prominence of the instruments with which his career has been notably associated: Riverside Church in New York City (1957-1982); The Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove (1982-1998); and First Congregational Church of Los Angeles (1998-2001). Mr. Swann holds degrees from Northwestern University and the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary in New York, each granted “with distinction.” In addition to his prominent church positions, he was for ten years Chair of the Organ Department at the Manhattan School of Music and served on the faculties of Teacher’s College of Columbia University, and the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. In 2015 the Royal Canadian College of Organists honored Mr. Swann with the conferral of their highest academic award, FRCCO, honoris causa. Although officially “retired,” Mr. Swann continues to perform on a reduced schedule of solo recitals and in concert with orchestras and choral groups.
