SAAGO Annual Showcase Concert
Sunday, October 27 @ 3PM

Each year SAAGO, the local chapter of the American Guild of Organists, holds an event to showcase the talents of its members. This year’s event will feature members:
Chris Fresolone
Jessie Jewett
Laura Silva.

They will perform on the church’s Æolian-Skinner organ, an excellent representation of the “American Classic” design, which was originally built for Christ Methodist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1959. St. Michael’s purchased this instrument in 1989. In 1998, after repairs and upgrades were made, and it was installed at St. Michael’s. The organ has seen the addition of the Antiphonal division, as well as changes and additions to the other divisions. The completed instrument has been renamed the A. F. Schultz Organ, in recognition of Alan F. Schultz’s many contributions to St. Michael’s and the Tucson community.

Details regarding the performers and their repertoire, mostly Dupré, will follow in the October issue of the newsletter. Members of the audience and performers can mingle afterwards at the reception hosted by SAAGO.
