APRIL 2013

Dear Members,

Happy Easter! May you all be pleased with the outcome of all of your music planning and playing for Lent, Holy Week and Easter and now be able to move from somber lamentations to joyous Alleluias. We all can be so proud of the many talented musicians in our chapter as seen by the members’ recital featuring the music of Craig Phillips at our March meeting. Thanks to Ben Spalding, choir director, and Anna Myeong, organist for beginning our evening with a rousing anthem sung by the Trinity Lutheran Choir. Elisa Bickers, John Davies, Paul Erickson, Nicholas Good, Jan Kraybill, Stephen Kucera, and Chloe Stodt provided a wide variety of styles from Craig Phillips’ music.

This month I interviewed Nancy Custead, Organist at Pine Ridge Presbyterian Church.

1. What interested you in becoming an organist?
Music was a “family” thing. Dad, with his beautiful tenor operatic voice, mom with fifty some pupils waiting for piano lessons in the front room, a sister practicing her flute, and I, on the bedroom piano, copying the piano songs that wafted through the walls, all blended into daily compositions that filled the inside of our rickity old parsonage we called home. Mom, a trained church organist for twenty-seven years, played beautifully. My church choir pew allowed me to watch her feet on the pedals, and I marveled at her skill and choice of registration as I strained to hear her play her wonderful selections through the Sunday morning prelude chatter. (Yes...even back then.) When I was twelve, mom enticed me to sit next to her on the organ bench while she practiced, then during church, where she had me “begin my organ career” playing the postludes. Her intentions, however, confused me since I was deep into perfecting my piano skills. I should have known that mom, being the valedictorian student of all her schooling, knew what she was doing.

Playing the organ for churches throughout the next forty some years while teaching piano privately, directing church choirs, teaching music in Kansas City, Kansas, and raising two boys, kept me a little busy. I passionately loved all my jobs, but was dissatisfied that my time was limited on the organ bench. Although my organ music was practiced and prepared for Sunday, it was not up to my standards. It was always on my “bucket list” to pursue more fervently....someday, when I had more time. After I retired as a school music teacher, my husband contracted cancer and passed away. I needed a passion. I decided to follow my dream. I joined AGO and began to go to more and more organ concerts. My first concert was Jan Kraybill at the organ. When I got in the car afterwards, I broke down and cried. I was substituting at a large church with a new organ and threw myself into five to seven hours of practice a day. I fell in love with my new passion. It had been waiting for me all those years. One Sunday morning, my pastor said to me, “You are glowing!! Are you in love?” I said, “Yes...with the organ”. I decided to give an organ recital. I called on a doctoral organ student from Kansas University to give me lessons, then I called on John Obetz to give me more tips on registration and possible repertoire. It was an amazing time for me. John Obetz, for heavens sake. What a kind, wonderful teacher and expert organist. I gave the recital to my lovely church congregation who were so encouraging. Then I decided to pursue more expertise by going to UMKC. Then, an even more amazing thing happened. I met Dr. Elisa Bickers, the Village Presbyterian Church organist, who is not only a fantastic organist, but a fantastic teacher as well. I learned more about organ playing and about the organ itself than I could ever have hoped. She is also a member of the KCAGO.

2. How does the membership in the GKCAGO help you as an organist?
My experience with the Greater Kansas City Chapter of the American Guild of Organists just blows the top off the organ experience. I have heard such wonderful organ playing, and heard such wonderful lectures. I love being around people who have such a passion for the organ and its literature. I am a symphony series subscriber, and I love to eye the organ perched in the branches of the Helzberg Center as if to say “Come hear me play, too”. And I do.

3. What is your hope for the 2018 National AGO Convention in KC?
My hope for the 2018 National AGO Convention is that it will also remind people here in Kansas City that the ORGAN is alive and well. I hope this message permeates to the younger people in our city, and that all those unaware of the “organ world” will know that something tremendous is in the making, and that it has something of lasting value to our community, and that it can change their lives as it has changed mine.

Board Meeting

The next meeting is Saturday, April 13, 2013 at 10:30 am at Immanuel Lutheran in Westport. All committee chairs, elected positions and long-range planning committee members are expected to attend. If you must be absent please contact Carol Wallace at 816.468.6596 or carolwallace@kclibrary.org.

Quimby Regional Young Artists’ Competition

Congratulations to Jennifer Bower, a student of James David Christie at Oberlin Conservatory, who won our local chapter competition, the first round of the Quimby Regional Young Artists’ competition, on March 16. We have been informed, however, that Jennifer will be traveling in China this summer, so Stephen Kucera, who was named the runner-up, will have the opportunity to compete at the Region VI convention in Springfield, Missouri. The competition will be held on Tuesday morning, June 18. Congratulations, Jennifer and Stephen!

BACHATHON 2013

May 5 is Bachathon XXXIV, beginning at 2:00 and ending at 7:00. This year’s musicians are all top-notch, and the repertoire sterling.

A couple new things this year are the inclusion of Beau Bledsoe, perhaps our area’s finest classical guitar player, and a young rising star of the piano, Kairy Koshoeva, will play portions of the Goldberg Variations.

Among the noteworthy segments our revitalized Schola Cantorum under the directorship of Anthony Maglione will present the Oratorio BWV 4 with the musicians of the Kansas City Baroque Consortium.

Wonderful organists abound, from advanced college student players to local masters. They include: Mark Paisar, Karen Engebretson, SongYi Park, Yoomi Chang, and Jan Kraybill.

And, the kids are back! Beth Titterington’s violin students will share a segment with our own KCAGO Marionettes under the delightfully playful direction of Mary Davis.

Click here for a flyer. Please consider printing out a couple or as many as you choose and hang them in your churches and studios, and on the community bulletin boards you frequent. Post it on your Facebook page. Help us spread the word. This is one of KCAGO’s best efforts, and we don’t want to keep it a secret. Many thanks. -- Dale Ramsey

The French Organ Music Festival

I value and appreciate the vast talents and contributions that my colleagues in the KCAGO make to consistently help our organization flourish. Our accomplishments are many and our dreams are nearly paralleled by new ideas and initiatives that compliment and expand existing programs within our chapter.

Since coming to Kansas City in 2006 to assume the position of music and liturgy director at the “golddome” Cathedral, I have been mesmerized by the amount of music culture offered in our city. I continue to enjoy attending the annual Bachathon hosted by our colleague John Schaefer at GHT Cathedral. The last time I attended this wonderful event, I reflected on its impact on the community and the organ literature and brainstormed with some of my colleagues about the idea to give life to a sister event that has an equally large amount of music output. As an avid fan of French organ music I thought about the idea of two major Cathedrals located within one block of each other, bringing great organ music from great organ composers to our chapter and to our city would be double the impact! Thus the French organ festival concept was born.

The colleagues I shared the proposal with thought our space and instrument were perfectly suited to French organ music. The program committee as well as the finance committee recently approved the idea and we are slated to present the inaugural event on Sunday, August 25th 2013 from 2-5pm at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. In addition to amazing French organ music, the other goal is to have local French eateries donate food items and wine to be featured in a “French café” to accompany experiencing great French organ music!

New ideas require the daring to face challenges and to view them as opportunities. Team work and practical support are two elements that will propel this project into a path that will ensure its success from the start. We need performers, we need assistance with publicity, posting flyers, forwarding email blasts to our contact lists, handing out programs/collecting free will offering as well as volunteering as shift hosts for the café.

Our Kansas City chapter of the AGO has achieved many milestones and successes through the years; our continued success and our future lies in the support and vigor that has brought the esteem and respect to our chapter. Our chapter has garnered a national AGO event in our city in 2018. We are mighty, we are visionary and we are part of the artistic fabric committed to preserve the live performance of great organ music.

Please contact Dr. Mario Pearson, the chair of the French organ music festival to lend your time, talent and support to make this inaugural event of the French music festival the rousing success it can be. mpearson@kcgolddome.org

Wanted – A Keeper of the Display Banner

We have benefitted greatly from our chapter’s Display Table and Banner, which we have placed in the Great Foyer at the Kauffman PAC and at other venues during organ concerts. The display features a large (3 feet x 4 feet) poster collage of Kansas City area pipe organs. A wonderful banner, over eight feet tall, announces our chapter’s presence and attracts people to the table where our members greet them and engage them in conversation. Literature about our AGO chapter and flyers about members’ concert events are distributed. It is a very worthwhile activity to both our chapter and the community.

The “home” for this equipment has been the office of Dale Ramsey in his house. However, it now needs a new home, as Dale is moving to a place which has no space to keep it. So, we are looking for a new volunteer to take charge of this valuable asset of our chapter. Also required would be a vehicle of sufficient size to transport the material when it is displayed. Dale has been doing so in a Prius which has a hatchback and rear seats that fold down. This should give you an idea. A small SUV, a station wagon, a minivan (rear seats which fold down) a Prius or similar vehicle would do the trick

Anyone interested in taking on this continuing project for a year or so, please contact Dale. His contact information is in the Membership Directory. This will need to happen within the next 7 or 8 weeks before he moves. Many thanks to the next keeper of the Display Poster and Banner.

January Jubilee will be January 25, 2014!

Our January Jubilee application has been approved by National AGO! Save the date! Saturday, January 25, 2014 will be an entire day of double-track workshops with a dual purpose. One purpose is to attract prospective members. Another goal is to present topics that will be of interest to our present membership. We would like to offer something worthwhile to everyone who attends. Watch for more details in the months leading up to this big event. Mary Bronaugh Davis, Sub-Dean

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

How and why does any pipe organ exist? In a world of competing budgetary priorities, how is it possible that these gorgeous works of art grace our lives? What miracles have to occur to make this so?

As organ conservator of the Julia Irene Kauffman Casavant organ, I think about these questions a lot. I feel very fortunate to be a caretaker of this particular work of art, and I’m very aware that I personally had nothing to do with the fact that it exists. I’m extremely grateful.

And so I treasured the experience of hosting, this past September, the very first visit of the EPOCH (Experiencing Pipe Organs in Concert Halls) committee to the organ they helped create.

The EPOCH committee began when talk of a new performing arts center in Kansas City was just beginning; the site for the new center hadn’t even been chosen yet. Blanche Gangwere called John Obetz, and together they formed a group of fellow “movers-and-shakers”: Junia Braby, William Gorman (who now lives in Rancho Mirage, CA), Carlene Neihart, William Pfeiffer, Jr., and Bruce Prince-Joseph. Their first meeting was in Blanche’s home, over twenty years ago. Their purpose was to ensure that planning for Kansas City’s new performing arts center included discussions of a magnificent pipe organ. They began taking action – in big ways and small ways – to make this dream a reality. (See John Obetz’ article in the January 2007 Bombarde for details.)

We know the rest of the story: the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is home to the magnificent 102-rank Opus 3875 by Casavant Frères, inaugurated just over a year ago in sold-out performances by its organ consultant, James David Christie. What you may not know: since then, the Julia Irene Kauffman Casavant has appeared in solo and collaborative performances more often than even the EPOCH committee dreamed. Sixteen events involving the organ occurred in the remainder of the 2011-12 concert season, and at last count, 33 performances with organ have occurred or will soon take place during the 2012-13 season!

The EPOCH committee’s first visit to “their” pipe organ occurred on September 27, 2012. Much had changed since they first met at Blanche’s home, perhaps most clearly illustrated by the physical changes that the passage of time brings to us all. (I am pleased to report that the path to the organ console – which includes walking through the instrument itself – can accommodate a wheelchair.) Those present were Jane Chu, CEO of the Kauffman Center; Joan Israelite, Development Consultant for the Kauffman Center and past president of the Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City; EPOCH committee members Junia Braby, Blanche Gangwere, Carlene Neihart, John Obetz, and Bruce Prince-Joseph; and relatives Howard Braby, Robert Gangwere, and James Neihart.

After we talked about various aspects of the instrument’s design, and reveled in its wide variety of tone colors and expressive capabilities, each committee member who wanted to sit at the console and play did so. I will never forget hearing and seeing Blanche Gangwere – at 95 years of age – perform a really wonderful rendition of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, from memory!

Their visit ended with a photo session at the plaque which honors their work. You can view the plaque, just outside the left and right doors to the Parterre section, the next time you visit the Kauffman Center.

Our chapter Dean, Claudette Schiratti, has said that we stand on the shoulders of giants in our chapter. In the creation of Opus 3875, the EPOCH group of giants has provided a gem for which we and future generations are privileged to be inheritors and caretakers. Like the EPOCH committee, we can fulfill our roles in ways both big and small. May we each live up to the task! -- Jan Kraybill

Area organs on the GKCAGO website

Something new – and your help needed!

We have a start to new pages on the website to document and present details about area organs. This is a start to preparing for the National Convention, and will also become a lasting resource for us.

To start, use http://www.kcago.com/organs/ to get to the main page, from there you can drill down using the links to pages by location and then to individual instruments. We don’t yet have a link to this on the website, but we will have one eventually.

Please take a minute to browse these pages as I’m interested to get feedback on presentation, details, etc. I’ll be interested to hear whatever you have to share. In addition, I need everyone’s help to document the organ(s) you know. Please help as you can to provide: a) some good pictures b) builder / install date c) stoplist d) renovations / modifications e) church / location website for your organ or any to which you have access. Please send any of the above, or questions, to me, Mike Maiden, at mmaiden@kc.rr.com
Thanks for the help!

Roland Worshop presented by Schmitt Music

Join us for a FREE Roland Worship Workshop at Schmitt Music, 'More Than a Pianist' presented by Corey Fournier. Saturday, April 27th at 9:30am -- 11:30am, complimentary breakfast and lunch provided.

Whether you took lessons or not, playing piano in a praise band requires skills most piano lessons don't cover. And if you're playing a digital keyboard, it probably has capabilities you've yet to discover! The fact is, you have giftedness that you haven't tapped into yet, and this seminar will help you go beyond your role as a pianist/keyboardist and expand into your new territory. We'll also explore ways to enhance vocals and learn how recording your rehearsals and services can inspire your team without saying a word.

To RSVP, call Schmitt Music 913-663-4756 or email kckb@schmittmusic.com
