Dean’s Message – January 2020

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.  But the festivities have not ended.

I want to take a minute of your time and promote the Salt Lake Chapter’s PIPES AND POTPOURRI event taking place February 11th, 2020 – the perfect segue between the Christmas/New Year Holidays and Valentine’s Day.  (Sorry, gentlemen, that I brought the subject of Valentine’s Day up a bit early. I am familiar with the sweating spells and  extreme anxiousness that men undergo as that Day approaches – but what a great answer to your question of what to get that special someone for Valentine’s Day – a night out in Ogden at the Salt Lake Chapter’s PIPES AND POTPOURRI event!!!!!!)  This event will feature a night out with Organ Masters Richard Elliott and Mike Ohman and will be held in two locations – the Peery Egyptian Theater in Ogden and the Ogden Tabernacle. You can’t go wrong with taking your sweet someone to this event.  Mike Ohman will be featured on the Peery Egyptian Theater’s Wurlitzer Theater Organ (including a short silent film). We will then reconvene at the Ogden Tabernacle where Richard Elliott will wow and amaze as he always does on the refurbished H. Ronald Poll & Associates Opus 34, (3 Manuals, 51 Ranks).  Ticket prices are $8.00 per person, but members of the Salt Lake Chapter and the Utah County Chapter will be admitted free of charge.  

Please calendar this event and plan on joining us for an exceptional program provided to you in thanks for being a member of the American Guild of Organists and supporting your local Chapter.

Your Dean, John K. Rice. 

And remember:  YOU’RE NOT A PROPER ORGANIST UNTIL your organ shoes look like they’ve been in a tussle with an enthusiastic puppy and lost.
