Honestly, I can't remember it all. Better write it down:
May 12: Played for Commencement
-- Continued to serve on the Board for the Friends of Music at St. Mary’s Church in Blowing Rock, N.C.
May 27: Played for a wedding, which is rare for me
June 4: Watched my students perform a splendid studio recital at the chapel at The Citadel, on the 2017 Piccolo Spoleto l’Organo series
June 7: Played a recital in the Hall of Philosophy in Mt. Gretna, Penn.
June 11: Played a recital and Evensong at St. Mary’s Church in Blowing Rock, N.C.
June 12-15: Recorded two more Widor Symphonies at First Presbyterian Church, Houston
June 25-29: Served on the faculty and performed for the Pipe Organ Encounter (Advanced) at the University of Alabama
June 29-August 3: ate, hiked, and performed my way across the south of France. The Pyrenees are breathtaking at 8000 feet.
August 5-11: Attended the Organ Historical Society convention in St. Paul and environs.
August 12: Played for the Salem Presbytery meeting in Statesville, N.C.
August 17-20: Performed on two Viscount organs in the Dothan/Enterprise, Ala., area
August 22: Classes began
Meanwhile, the Widor series continues to chug along. Symphonies II and III and the Suite Latine are up in October on the E.M. Skinner at First Presbyterian in Wilmington, N.C. From there, it’s on to the Aeolian-Skinner in the Community of Christ Auditorium in Independence, Missouri, in January. Then on to a TBD venue in the Spring, and we’ll be DONE.
Then may I go on summer vacation?
