Organist Workshop with Dr. Richard Elliott

The Southern Nevada Chapter of the American Guild of Organists sponsored an organist workshop with Dr. Richard Elliott, Principal Organist of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, in advance of his organ recital at Christ Church Episcopal.

The workshop was attended by over seventy-five local professional, amateur, and student organists from around the Las Vegas community. The overwhelming majority of attendees were organists under 40 years old. Many different faiths were in attendance including Latter Day Saint, Catholic, Episcopalian, Jewish, Methodist, Presbyterian, and non-denominational organists.

In his workshop, Dr. Elliott shared his top ten secrets to organ playing success.

Several local organ students of all ages participated by playing pieces for Dr. Elliott.

A special thank you to workshop organizers Laurie Swain and Dr. William Freeman. The chapter would also like to extend a warm thank you to Mrs. Amy Smith of Christ Church Episcopal for the fine hospitality.
