Dr. Harris presents a workshop on using ForScore, the sheet music digital app designed exclusively for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. The app's clean interface gives you quick access to the tools you need, then fades away so you can focus on your music. Musicians can use the app to digitally organize their music libraries; turn pages via screen taps, custom gestures, or hands-free with a Bluetooth pedal. This amazingly powerful app allows one to annotate, create setlists, rearrange pages, add bookmarks, play along to an audio track, and more with an abundance of tools to help you turn practice into performance.
This all sounds complicated; however, Dr. Harris breaks the app down into understandable parts in her presentation with demonstrations of how the app works. More and more musicians are using tablets these days rather than carrying around suitcases filled with scores and lead sheets; therefore, this is a presentation YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS!!
A Candlelight Concert for All Saints Day featuring Music of Remembrance and Hope. The program takes place in the Trinity chapel, which houses the David Harris two-manual mechanical action organ. This free program of meditative and peaceful music will be presented by Lynn Moser (piano and organ), Christine Harper (flute), Max Adler (oboe), soloists from the Trinity Choir, and handbell players from the Trinity Ringers.
Our Annual Showcase displays the talents of SAAGO members and this year the program features Laura Silva, Pamela Decker and Ken Yukl. This is always a special program which displays their artistry as well as some of the organ repertoire’s most beautiful music. This year's performers will play the beautiful Æolian-Skinner pipe organ dedicated to the memory of Alan Schultz. Originally built in 1959 for the Hyde Park Methodist Church in Cincinnati, it was moved, restored, and enlarged to 64 ranks and was rededicated in 2005 with a recital by Todd Wilson.
