Sept. 14, 2000 -- The McIntire Department of Music at the University of Virginia invites you to an organ rededication concert and workshop to be given by Peggy Kelley Reinburg on the newly restored Skinner pipe organ in Old Cabell Hall. Reinburg studied at Northwestern University's School of Music in Evanston, IL and at the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary in New York. She has served on the organ faculties of Mary Washington College, George Washington University, Duquesne University, and Seattle Pacific University, and is currently on the faculty of the Center for Sacred Music at Virginia Wesleyan College. She has an international reputation and is particularly well known in Europe where she recently completed her 10th European Tour. Reinburg also served as the organ consultant for the recent renovation of the University's Skinner organ. The program for the concert on Friday, Sept. 15 is as follows: Postlude pour l'Office de Complies -- Jehan Ariste Alain Berceuse -- Jehan Ariste Alain Messe du Huitieme Ton -- Gloria in Excelsis -- Gaspard Corrette Prelude and Fuge in C Minor, BWV 546 -- Johann Sebastian Bach Sonata III in F Major -- Carl Philipp Emanual Andante in D Major with Variations -- Felix Mendelssohn Improvisation in A Minor, Op. 150 -- Camille Saint-Saens Tickets for the concert are $10 for the general public, $5 for students and 5ARTS$. Call (804) 924-3984 for tickets or more information. Peggy Reinburg and Xaver Wilhelmy, who was entrusted with cleaning and renovating the Skinner organ, will lead the workshop that will take place on Saturday Sept. 16 from 10 a.m.-noon and 1:30 p.m.4 p.m. in Old Cabell Hall. The workshop will include a presentation on the restoration project, a tour of the organ and a demonstration of suggested registrations appropriate to the Skinner organ. Ticket prices for the workshop are $15 for the general public, $5 for students and 5ARTS$ for U.Va. students. The Skinner organ was originally built in 1906. It is the earliest extant organ that remains as originally designed and built by Ernest M. Skinner. The original construction of this organ was made possible by a gift to the University from Andrew Carnegie. The restoration work was funded in part by a generous contribution from William R. Piper, '77, to the McIntire Department of Music. The upcoming workshop is co-sponsored by the Charlottesville Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
