SUMMARY:Organ Exploration/Two organ-Mini Crawl\, Open Console
DESCRIPTION:Organ Exploration/Two organ-Mini Crawl\, Open Console\nSaturday\, May 9\n\n¨ 9 a.m.\, Northminster Presbyterian Church\n2450 E. Ft. Lowell Rd.\n\n¨ 10:30 a.m.\, Catalina United Methodist Church\n2700 East Speedway Blvd.\n\nLunch provided courtesy of the chapter\n\nJoin your colleagues to see\, hear and play two notable Tucson instruments\, both designed and built by Quimby Pipe Organs of Warrensburg\, MO. \nThe first stop is Northminster (Opus 51\, 3 manuals\, 46 ranks) where you will be greeted by John Brobeck\, Director of Music and Organist. He’ll share a little bit about the instrument and open the chambers to allow members to examine the layout of the pipes. Members will have the opportunity to play the instrument before proceeding to Catalina. \nOur second stop is Catalina United Methodist’s Opus70\, 4/57 Quimby built oran. Dave Horr\, SAAGO Secretary/Treasurer\, will greet you and share a little bit about the instrument. (Dave is filling in for Mariana Mevans who has a Mother’s Day event with her son that\nmorning.) Once again\, members will have opportunity to play the instrument. However\, the chambers are inaccessible to all except organ technicians. There will be handouts with the specs and some organ builder history. \nEstablished in 1970\, QPO began as a tuning and maintenance firm and developed into one of the premier organ building firms in the country. Its first comprehensive new pipe organ was built in 1987 and consisted of three-manuals and 42 ranks. Since that installation\, QPO has built pipe organs of all sizes\, from small two-manuals up to its current magnum opus of five-manuals and 155 ranks. A sampling of QPO installations follows: Cathedral of St. John the Divine (NYC\, 151 ranks)\, Fourth Presbyterian Church (Chicago\, 143 ranks)\, First Baptist Church (Jackson\, MS\, 155 ranks)\, St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church (Palm Desert\, CA\, 71 ranks)\, Cathedral of St. Paul\, MN (86 ranks)\, Jacoby Symphony Hall (Jacksonville\, FL\, 98 ranks)\, —and\, of course\, Tucson\, AZ. \nPlease let Dee Schultz know that you plan to be there for lunch. This makes her planning much easier (adschul@yahoo.com or 520-343-5343).

SUMMARY:SAAGO Educational Series: "Look\, Ma\, No Hands!" Using ForScore  Presented by Dr. Valerie Harris
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 17\, 2026 10AM\nCatalina United Methodist Church\n2700 E. Speedway Blvd.\nTucson\, AZ \n 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. \nThis 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!!
