Celebrate 49 Summers of Daily Organ Recitals with AGO
National Convention Artist Jan Kraybill
Community of Christ principal organist and director of music Jan Kraybill is
one of twenty-one featured recitalists from around the world selected to perform
during the American Guild of Organists (AGO) 2008 National Convention, June
22–26 in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota.
Jan says, “Performing at the National Convention is truly an honor. Since
receiving the invitation over a year ago, I’ve been planning and working hard to
present the best performance I possibly can. I am thrilled to have this
opportunity!”
Enjoy a preview of Jan’s national convention recital on June 1 from 3:00 to
4:00 p.m. in the Community of Christ Auditorium, 1001 West Walnut Street,
Independence, Missouri. This recital will kickoff the 49th consecutive
summer of daily organ recitals at the Auditorium. The repertoire will be:
- John Cook: Fanfare
- J.S. Bach: Partita on “Sei gegrüsset, Jesu gütig”, BWV 768
- Louis Vierne: “Prelude,” “Caprice,” and “Intermezzo” from Fantasy
Pieces, Op. 51
- Leo Sowerby: “Fast and Sinister” and “Passacaglia” (mmvts 2 and 3) from
Symphony in G
The summer will continue with half-hour demonstration recitals at 3:00 every
day during June, July, and August (except July 4), as volunteer staff organists
introduce visitors to the organ, which Mozart called “The King of Instruments.”
Admission is always free.
Jan’s AGO National Convention recitals will be June 23 and 25 at Wayzata
Community Church in Minneapolis. See Jan’s biography and get details about the
organ she will play from
