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.

St. Andrew’s has hosted an annual hymnfest since the present Möller pipe organ was installed in 2008. Lars Andersen has been the guest organist for this event since its inception. The three-manual Möller organ was built in 1949 for a church in Racine, Wisconsin. When that church closed, the organ was sold, dismantled, moved, and installed in the beautiful sanctuary at St. Andrew’s in the fall of 2008.
The program features a massed choir from many churches in Sierra Vista, a high school choir, and robust congregational hymn singing.
