The Greater Kansas City Chapter of the American Guild of Organists is pleased to invite Junior and Senior high school age piano and organ students to meet, hear, and play for internationally acclaimed organist and composer Chelsea Chen.
Organ students, perform a favorite organ work and receive helpful advice from an internationally acclaimed organist. She will speak from 10 to 10:30 a.m. and students will perform from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Pizza will be at noon and Chen will leave around 1 p.m.
Practice time on the organ before May 18 may be reserved by calling the church office at 913-.648-2131. The event will be held at Leawood United Methodist Church, 2915 W 95th St., Leawood, Kansas (between Chadwick and Belinder).
Piano students, discover unimagined soundscapes as we explore the possibility of playing piano works on the pipe organ. Particularly appropriate are piano pieces composed between 1600 and 1800 (e.g., preludes/fugues; partita movements; clavichord/harpsichord pieces).
Performance time in the master class will be reserved for students as registrations are received. The class is limited to 90 minutes; time will be divided among as many students as is practical, in consideration of the repertoire to be played.
Participants are cordially invited to stay for a pizza lunch immediately following Pipe Organ Live!.
For further information and registration forms, contact 913-895-0682. Registration is due April 3.
