North Shore Chapter of the American Guild of Organists

Scott Dettra plays The Complete Works of César Franck
2022-09-30 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | Glenview Community Church, 1000 Elm Street, Glenview, IL, 60025, United States
In celebration of César Franck’s bicentennial in 2022, American concert organist Scott Dettra will undertake a tour of Franck’s 12 major organ works, performed from memory in two 75-minute recitals on a single day, or on consecutive evenings.
Franck’s organ music—arguably the most significant contribution to the repertoire after that of Bach—broke new ground and charted the course of the French Romantic organ school. Thanks to his mature harmonic language and ability to write achingly beautiful melodies, this music has become an enduring foundation of the organ repertoire.
Praised for the clarity, rhythmic intensity, and musical elegance of his playing, Mr. Dettra will bring his hallmark poeticism and suave sense of expression to this beloved music, which is rarely performed live in its entirety.

Webinar: Being Yourself in the Face of Public Ministry
2023-10-02 19:00 - 20:30
Monday, October 2 | 7pm
Speaker: Sarah Bereza
As congregational leaders, we live our professional lives within the spotlight of ministry. While aiming to be the fullest, truest versions of ourselves, we can struggle to do so with integrity given the constraints of our jobs. If you have ever felt like you’re working under a microscope or that you’ve been put on a pedestal you don’t want or deserve, then you are not alone. This workshop considers the foundational aspects of our jobs, including how to evaluate potential employers, and the intersection of personal values with workplace dynamics. https://www.agohq.org/webinars/
