Dean’s Message

Lent and Eastertide

Dear CFAGO Friends,

Lenten greetings to all members of the Central Florida American Guild of Organists. Here at Stetson University’s School of Music, we have had the recent pleasure of hosting a successful CFAGO Pedals, Pipes, and Pizza event, and also the Bach’s Birthday Members Recital. It is gratifying to be able to be part of the CFAGO events, even though DeLand is a considerable drive for many of you.

You will see other calendar matters in this and other coming CFAGO email communications. We all hope that as many members as possible can participate in as many events as possible, whether specifically CFAGO sponsored, or other area organ/church music presentations. Support for our profession is important to all of us, whether the events are in our own venues or elsewhere. We can present a unified vision to the broader community of a vibrant organization, and a sometimes-neglected aspect of musical performance that certainly merits the support of many more members of the public than is typical at organ events.

All the best in Lenten services, Holy Week, and preparation for Palm Sunday and Easter. May we all thrive and feel fulfilled by our roles in music-making!

Boyd Jones
