The public is invited to “pull out all the stops” at a free organ registration workshop sponsored by our chapter on Saturday, November 18, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Clement & St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 165 Hanover Street, Wilkes Barre. Organists of all ages and skill levels are welcome; beginning organists or pianists who would like to learn how to play the organ are especially encouraged to attend. Complimentary organ music will be available for the taking.

Leading the program will be Mr. Carl Ruck, Minister of Music at Church of Christ Uniting in Kingston and Sub-Dean of the Pennsylvania Northeast AGO Chapter. “The presentation will offer creative, interesting, and occasionally unusual ways to utilize the standard stops which are found on most pipe and electronic organs,” Ruck noted. “These registrations can breathe new life into hymns, preludes, postludes, and other service music. The focus will be on practical and useful solutions to the limitations most organists face.”

Pre-registration is encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. Please contact John Vaida, AGO Dean at 570-650-6459 or register online using the form below.
