SUMMARY:Dr. Raymond Ryder\, Dean-Southern Arizona Chapter|AGO Presents: Building Church Musicians
DESCRIPTION:Church musicians are made\, not born\, and becoming a better church musician is largely self-directed\, on-the-job training. Few of us start our musical journeys with clear ideas of the steps we would need to take and the challenges we would encounter. \nDr. Raymond T. Ryder\, SAAGO Dean and Piano Director\, Pima Community College\, will address how musicians\, pianists particularly\, can successfully prepare to transition into service playing\, choir accompanying\, and leading rehearsals. During this seminar/workshop\, Dr. Ryder will present proven strategies\, and resources\, for improving our musicianship skills. Dr. Ryder will also share repertoire suggestions for pianists and organists (since we often do a bit of both).

SUMMARY:St. Alban’s Concert Series Presents: Organists Dr. Jeffrey Campbell and Stephen Keyl In Concert
DESCRIPTION:St. Alban’s Episcopal Church\n3738 Old Sabino Canyon Road\nTucson\, Arizona \n St. Alban’s Concert Series presents organists Dr. Jeffrey Campbell\, Associate Music Director and Organist at St. Philip’s In the Hills Episcopal Church\, and Stephen Keyl\, retired Director of Music at St. Alban’s\, performing Bach’s Great Eighteen chorales. Dr. Jeffrey Campbell\, and Stephen Keyl will collaborate in a complete performance of this cornerstone of the organ repertory on the beautiful Paul Fritts organ at St. Alban’s. \nThe Great Eighteen are a group of ambitious\, large-scale organ works based on Lutheran chorales. Bach assembled them toward the end of his life from pieces he had written years earlier\, revising and in some cases expanding them\, perhaps intending to have them printed. Many are favorites with organists and audiences\, such as: the brilliant fantasia on “Come\, Holy Ghost” for full organ; the lyrical “Savior of the Nations\, Come”; and the quietly moving “Before Thy Throne I Now Appear\,” said to have been revised by the composer shortly before he died.

SUMMARY:Lamb of God Oratorio Presented By: Tucson Interfaith Choir and Orchestra - 4/18 & 19/2025
DESCRIPTION:Free tickets at:TucsonLambofGod.eventbrite.com \nFriday\, April 18\, 7:30 p.m.\nSaturday\, April 19\, 4:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. \nAn Interfaith choir and orchestra\, hosted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints\, presents Rob Garner’s Oratorio\, entitled Lamb of God\, a dramatic musical portrayal of the final days of Jesus’ life.

These performances play for a total audience of well over 50\,000 people from dozens of faiths.

An anonymous donor has graciously provided the funds to purchase and install a Peterson low flute digital voice to finish the stop on the Great and Pedal compass. \nThe 16’ Diapason digital voice on the pedal was installed as part of the Peterson ICS-4000 upgrade several years ago. The completion of this installation\, along with other ongoing corrections\, additions and deletions bring the organ closer to its fullest potential for accompanying liturgies and as a serious concert instrument. (Organ Data Source: John Hill\, Assistant Organist\, St. Andrew’s Church Sierra Vista.) \nThere is no charge to attend this concert\, a freewill offering will be accepted. All donations go to the organ restoration fund. \nThis is definitely a performance you will want to see and hear!

SUMMARY:SAAGO Proudly Presents: Professor Emeritus\, William Kuhlman - Mid 20th Century Organ Culture
DESCRIPTION:The 1960s and 70s proved fertile years for realizing the promises of the Organ Reform Movement in the building of organs as envisioned by Albert Schweitzer earlier in the century. Organ enrollment in the colleges and universities was high\, and master teachers brought about a renewed interest in performance practice made possible by the “tracker” craze. \nProfessor Kuhlman will touch on a few of the builders and teachers of organ who were vanguards in realizing these “reforms” during these “golden” years.

This year’s Pedals\, Pipes & Pizza is offers far more than an introduction to the pipe organ; instruction on playing the instrument\, as well as being able to sit at the console and play the organ. Likewise\, qualified\, experienced\, talented\, instructors will be on hand as well for anyone wishing to discuss and pursue private organ lessons. \nWe urge all our members\, advertiser\, friends\, and patrons of SAAGO to invite a young musician. Invite your grandchild\, your great-grandchild\, your neighbor and their young musician to this superb event on January 25\, 2025. It’s going to be something the students will never forget\, nor will you as a host. Space is limited; therefore\, download the registration form and flyer (see below in the post) and get the registration form into SAAGO as soon as possible. This event opens a whole new world to a young pianist\, keyboard player\, etc.. \nTo sweeten the deal\, this year’s Pedals\, Pipes & Pizza offers two (2) NEW! opportunities for participants:  \n1) We are offering the student participants a chance to be registered to win SIX (6) FREE LESSONS on the Magnificent Holtkamp Organ – THE VERY ONE THEY ARE PLAYING AT PEDALS\, PIPES & PIZZA – from World Renowned Organist\, Dr. Jeffrey Campbell\, Associate Director of Music & Organist at Saint Philip’s In The Hills Episcopal Church.  \n2) Through the graciousness of Dr. Valerie Harris\, Dean -Central Arizona Chapter | American Guild of Organists (CAZAGO)\, SAAGO has been able to borrow this unique “Build Your Own Pipe Organ Kit”  (the Orgelkids Kit) in order to make this year’s Pedals\, Pipes & Pizza a unique\, exciting\, and hands-on experience. Thusly\, we are having an organ building activity in place of the usual video for a truly an experiential exercise filled with fun and learning.\n\nIt is simple enough even an adult is able to participate and contribute to the build. \nWe are looking forward to seeing you on January 25\, 2025 at Saint Philip’s In the Hills Episcopal Church for the one-of-a-kind experience Pedals\, Pipes & Pizza offers. Music Teachers please print out the flyer and the registration form and send home with students who may be interested\, or you believe may be interested\, in playing the organ.
