RECITALIST, SUNDAY SERVICES, WEDDINGS/FUNERALS, COMMUNITY

Beyond “Phantom of the Opera” - recitals that take a journey thru the well-known, the incredible diversity of sound and style that is organ repertoire, and organ transcriptions of orchestral works - classic and popular. No organ, or the pipe organ doesn’t work? I can bring the magnificent sound of a Cathedral organ to your location using a self-built Hauptwerk, 3-manual, PC controlled organ.

Sunday Services? Mostly in the Episcopal tradition, but utilizing many styles of church music. I have also played at non-denominational services. In addition to playing a traditional pipe instrument for services, I am able to offer playing the piano, digital piano, or guitar (standard Christian Contemporary Music Material).

For Community Events such as Graduations, National Celebrations, etc., the Hauptwerk PC controlled organ is available - used at UCF since 2021. A recent sound-system upgrade has added a powerful sub-woofer, and left/right Behringer High-Resolution speakers.

In addition to the organ, I am able to provide a digital piano with external speakers for outside weddings.

emergency and scheduled service

Were you the kid who took a radio/toaster/bicycle apart to see how it worked? That was me! Years of following my Dad around “learning the ropes” of which tool did what, a tracker-action instrument rebuild and install in my late teens - invaluable skills that I have put to use detecting, and fixing wherever possible, problems/breakages/issues in every kind of church organ.

Most of my experience has been with tracker-action instruments - 28 years servicing the Andover, Opus 106, at St. Michael’s. However, if something is not working in any organ? Open the hood - let’s see what’s going on! For example: 2012,Abingdon, Virginia, Lutheran Church Allen Electronic - any programmed piston change was not retained after turning off, then back on. Quick internet search later, a trip to CVS, and replaced the dead battery on the main circuit board. Fixed!
