Evening Activities

Tuesday Evening - The New BYU Letourneau Concert Hall Organ

The Letourneau organ company has been installing and voicing the new BYU Concert Hall organ all summer, and will continue through early September. This event will be the absolute first sneak peak of the organ by any group of people! Letourneau president Andrew Forrest will spend an hour with us showing and telling us as much as he can about his soon-to-be finished masterpiece. Don’t miss this one!

Wednesday Evening - Field Trip and Hymn Sing on Temple Square in Salt Lake City

We will gather Wednesday afternoon to travel to American Fork and Salt Lake City. We will stop at the M. L. Bigelow organ shop to see behind the scenes as they build a new tracker organ destined for New York. Then it’s on to Temple Square, where the tabernacle organists will conduct the hymn sing in the Conference Center Auditorium on their traveling Hauptwerk organ. (The pipe organs are unavailable this summer due to construction and renovation.) Bring your voices and a hymnbook!

The field trip is always the highlight of the workshop for many of our participants. Don’t miss it! Bus transportation will be available through our registration site. Box dinners will be available for an extra fee.

Note - due to construction and organ maintenance on Temple Square, there will be no Open Console Experience this year.

Thursday Evening - Instructor Recital

Some of your workshop instructors will share some of their favorite organ pieces in this exciting recital. You’ll hear a wide variety, and maybe even some that you’ll want to learn.
