2011-2012 Activities

 

September 17 (Saturday) - Utah Valley Chapter Opening Event,

“Pedals, Pipes & Pizza,” Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to noon, Provo Central Stake Center, 1200 W. 500 N.

 

Print off the flyer prepared by Miranda Wilcox to post in your chapels, and invite youth pianists in your congregations to attend this event. Let them know they will be welcome to play a piano piece or hymn on the Bigelow mechanical action pipe organ.

 

Please make sure that any youth you invite has a ride to the event (either you, their parents, or their piano teacher). Contact Susan Morris with the number of youth and escorts who will be attending (by 9/14/11), so that she may make sure there will be enough pizza on hand to satisfy all who come.

 

October 7 (Friday) -  The 21st Century Member Recital and Don Cook Recognition, 7:30 p.m., 1006 E. 200 S., Spanish Fork

 

In addition to having an evening to honor Dr. Cook, our

Dean, Florence, would like a program of organ pieces from you to illustrate what the organ means to each of us in the 21st century. She is hoping for a broad spectrum of composers/time periods. So pull out a favorite piece or start practicing a new one. If interested in performing, please contact Sheri Peterson.

 

Available practice on this Wicks organ (stop list attached) are:

Tuesday, October 4, from 4 to 10 p.m.

Thursday, October 6, from 4 to 10 p.m.

Friday, October 7, from noon to 7:00 p.m.

 

To secure a practice time, call, text, or email Jack Stoneman to set up a time for him to meet you at the church to open the doors.  If anyone needs a time other than what is listed above, arrangements can be made.
