The Art of Liturgical Improvisation

Dr. Caroline Robinson, assistant organ professor at the University of Michigan, shares her extensive knowledge of organ repertoire and improvisation over two unique classes. First, Dr. Robinson will coach local organists in a repertoire masterclass, helping to deepen participants' understanding of their prepared pieces and launch them to new heights in their playing. Then, the spotlight shifts for the second class to The Art of Liturgical Improvisation, where Dr. Robinson will share tips for effective and imaginative improvisations in the context of a church service, demonstrated by herself and a few lucky volunteers. A gracious and gifted performer, Dr. Robinson's improvisations intentionally highlight the colors and styles of the organ at her fingertips. Her incredible teaching skills enable her to meet students at their level and help propel them to the next. These classes will be illuminating and captivating for all in attendance.

This class is co-sponsored by the Seattle Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. Suggested donation $20 for adults, $5 for students.
