DEAN’S MESSAGE
Thank you to everyone who attended the Chapter’s End-of-Year Banquet
and Installation Service. It was a fantastic evening, from the excellent
catered meal to the beautifully crafted service and music offered. On behalf of the Executive
Board, welcome to Dr. Jacqueline Yost and Mr. Kevin Haney as our newest members. Both Jacquie
and Kevin bring significant excitement and ideas, and we all look forward to working
together.
Our Summer Recital Series begins this month! How fortunate we are to have such a stellar lineup of performers playing this summer! Use this opportunity to invite a member of your family, a friend,
or neighbor to several of these recitals. It is a wonderful way to share the instrument we love with
others!
On the national front, the Houston AGO Chapter has worked tirelessly to offer a world-class national
convention later this month! They have organized a stellar line-up of recitalists, workshops, and
hospitality. If anyone from our chapter is attending, please let me know. It would be great to have a
report of your experience for an upcoming newsletter!
In the meantime, let us all remind ourselves to rest and rejuvenate this summer. Our Chapter is
experiencing growth in new members, exciting programming initiatives on the horizon, and THREE
MONTHS OF RECITALS TO ATTEND! I look forward to seeing you at as many as possible.
Enjoy your summer!
Matthew

"If it is spectacular organ sound you want then this is the disc for you.
This massive 74-stop organ has a mighty speaker crunching 32 foot reed....
the Priory recording is wonderfully atmospheric. Engels, clearly at ease on
this instrument makes it all seem like an easy Sunday afternoon canter.”
