| American Guild of Organists' Pipe Organ
Encounters
Dr. J Richard Szeremany instructed
as ELPC/Pittsburgh hosted the American Guild of Organists.
The American Guild of Organists
(AGO) sponsors Pipe Organ Encounters for young people (POE) and
Pipe Organ Encounters for Adults (POE+) in order to recognize
and support individuals who have an interest in beginning study
of the pipe organ.
AGO, through its local Pittsburgh
Chapter, sponsored a POE+ at Duquesne University in June. Dr.
Szeremany was one of a dozen musicians selected from around the
country as faculty for POE+. In the mornings, students participated
in classes focusing on the basics of organ playing, its history,
registration, organ construction, historical repertoire and other
related musical subjects. Afternoons were devoted to private instruction
at organs in churches around the city, including the Chapel and
Sanctuary organs at ELPC.
ELPC is pleased to have participated
in this event and for its role in preparing musicians for tomorrow’s
worship.
