Performers delighted an audience organ fans Tuesday night, 11 February 2020, at Pipes & Potpourri 2020, held in two organ venues in Ogden, Utah.
Patrons first enjoyed the stylings of Mike Ohman as he played the Mighty Wurlitzer organ while accompanying a short silent film. Newell Dayley also joined Mike on trumpet for an enjoyable duet.
Patrons then walked a couple of blocks to the Ogden Utah Tabernacle where Dr. Richard Elliott, Organist at the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, gave some introduction to the organ there and performed a recital. The recital included selections from Georg Frederic Handel, Peter Benoit, Camille Saint-Saens, Louis Vierne, and Dr. Elliott’s own “I Got Rhythm.”
The SLCAGO extends its sincere thanks to Perry’s Egyptian Theater and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for their support of this dual-venue event. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to our artists, Mike Ohman, Newell Dayley, and Richard Elliott, for their contributions to this event, certainly, and also for their dedicated service to church and community through music.
