Cache Valley Utah Chapter

Message from the Dean

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting our chapter page. We are a small, yet enthusiastic chapter headquartered in Logan, Utah (about 90 miles north of Salt Lake City). Our focus for the coming year is twofold: first, we want to get more young people interested in the organ. Each year that I provide pipe organ demonstrations to elementary school children, I'm delighted to see their fascination with the instrument. We intend to expand our vision to provide more opportunities for the organ's visibility in our community. Second, we want to provide training for the many beginning organists in our area. There is great need for teaching and guidance so that these organists get started on the right foot!

Jonathan D. Rose, Dean

Local Events

The pipe organ at the Logan Tabernacle is currently undergoing a comprehensive rebuild and will be out of commission until fall 2008. At the completion of the work we plan to sponsor a rededication concert with regular recitals to follow.

We are also excited to participate with the Salt Lake Chapter in a Pipe Organ Encounter with Felix Hell on June 15-20, 2008. See the SLC chapter's website for details: http://www.slcago.org/.

Please also support the acclaimed radio program PIPEDREAMS which airs each Sunday evening on Classical 89.
