The Saginaw Valley American Guild of Organists hosted two events: resurrecting the infamous Pipescreams Concert and the annual Kent Dennis Memorial Organ Recital. Pipescreams, October 29, was held at the First Presbyterian Church of Bay City, Michigan, and featured notable performances for voice, tuba, piano, organ, and a recitation of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven.” Featured performers were Chelsea Worden, Jay Michaud, Patti Bowen, Jan Sutherland, Mark Cox, Mary Jo Cox, Adrienne Wiley, Steven Egler, David King, and Carol Rumba. All performers were in costume which made the event even more fun!
The Kent Dennis Memorial Organ Recital, November 12, featured performances of works by Petr Eben, J.S Bach, Michael Burkhardt, Herbert Howells, Dietrich Buxtehude, and Milos Sokola. Featured performers of this event were the SVAGO Members Jay Michaud, Chelsea Worden, Calla Ringgenberg, Patti Bowen, Jon Eifert, and Timothy Nechuta. A free will offering was taken to support the Kent Dennis Memorial Organ Scholarship fund that is offered to pianists and organists in the mid-Michigan area. Respectfully submitted by Adrienne Wiley, Dean and Sub Dean of the SVAGO.
