The Voluntary Trumpet A PUBLICATION OF THE CHARLESTON CHAPTER
OF THE AMERICAN GUILD OF ORGANISTS
JANUARY 2019
The mission of the American Guild of Organists is to enrich lives through organ and choral
music. We encourage excellence in the performance of organ and choral music; inspire, ed-
ucate, and offer certification for organists and choral conductors; provide networking, fel-
lowship, and mutual support; nurture future generations of organists; promote the organ in
its historic and evolving roles; and engage wider audiences with organ and choral music.
DEAN’S LIST As I write this I have been enjoying a more relaxed schedule now that
the special musical preparation of the season is behind me. I am cer-
tain that most of you are as well! Our January 4th Epiphany Party is
upon us and I look forward to seeing everyone there exchanging sto-
ries and tips on things we have learned and enjoyed from December
2018. There's always an excitement as well as curiosity about what
the New Year will bring. I am hoping for great new friendships, the
continuing of dear and steady relationships, and of course, ever
greater music making. Bring your favorite dishes and stories to share
and we will make merry as we usher in 2019!
