This is one of the busiest times of the year for many of us—practicing, rehearsals, extra services, seasonal tunings, and all the usual holiday preparations and festivities. And there may be time to enjoy some of the events listed in our December issue of THE DIAPASON.
In this newsletter we note competition results and appointments both new and continuing, and new recordings by both emerging and established artists. The Organ Historical Society's 2015 calendar has been released, celebrating its upcoming 60th annual convention, to be held in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Fruhauf Music Publications offers a complimentary download of an organ chorale prelude (based on "Lo, How a Rose"). Organ Promotion offers its J.S. Bach Organ Pipe. Of course, a subscription to THE DIAPASON also makes a wonderful gift. You can subscribe through our website, or contact us directly ([email protected]). We'll be happy to help you.
Our newsletter sponsor is Kegg Pipe Organ Builders, whose new organ at Bryn Athyn Cathedral in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, is featured on the cover of the December issue of THE DIAPASON.
We call your attention to the Midwinter Pipe Organ Conclave, January 18–19, 2015, in La Grange, Illinois, co-sponsored by THE DIAPASON, the Chicago and Fox Valley AGO chapters, and the Chicago-Midwest chapter of the Organ Historical Society. See complete information below.
All of us at THE DIAPASON offer our good wishes for a peaceful and happy holiday season, and for a wonderful year to come.
