November 1, 3:00 p.m., streamed online from St. Alban’s Episcopal Church.

Stephen Keyl performs Bach’s Orgelbüchlein. The Orgelbüchlein (“Little Organ Book”) is a collection of 45 short settings of Lutheran chorales for the seasons of the church year. Within this small format, Bach gave his creative energy full play, accompanying the chorale melodies with motifs that reflect the meaning of the texts in miniatures of great variety and appeal.

SAAGO’s annual event is designed to give middle-high school and adult music students an introduction to the pipe organ and its music.

Attendees get to explore the inner workings of the instrument, and they also receive individual instruction on the organ.

Additional information and a registration form will follow in a later edition of The Cypher.
