Welcome to THE DIAPASON E-News.
In this issue we include news of many upcoming performances and festivals, covering many points on the musical spectrum.
Cameron Carpenter debuts his International Touring Organ in two concerts at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall on March 9, 2014. Concerts continue at Old Salem Museums & Gardens, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in London, Ontario, Canada..
New publications and recordings include those from Jazzmuze, Breitkopf & Härtel, and Brilliant Classics.
We also note the 2014 Schoenstein Competition in Hymn Playing, which coincides with the release by MorningStar Music Publishers of the book Hymn Playing: A Modern Colloquium by Stuart Forster. The competition's final round will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the day before the AGO national convention begins in Boston.
Scholarships are being offered by the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM) and the Fondation Académie d’Orgue de Fribourg.
Organ builders’ open houses include those by Pasi Organ Builders, Inc. on March 1, in Roy, Washington; Parsons, of Bristol Center, New York, on March 2; and Berghaus of Bellwood, Illinois, on March 15. In other organ-building news, Glück Pipe Organs has been commissioned to design and build two pipe organs (yes, two!) for Church of St. Patrick in Huntington, on New York’s Long Island.
