Days to go: 896 -- Pieces to go: 10
Day 104: Some very good news from the University of Western Ontario! The Dean has approved our request to hold a Memorial Concert for Dr. Larry Cortner. It will be held on Sunday, May 1, 2011, at 3:00 in Studio 18 at the Faculty of Music. Anyone who wants can perform, especially former students!
If you wish to perform, you can reach me through this blog or email trudeolford@hotmail.com. If you have any more ideas about what we can do, you can let us know, too. Also, please email me with memories and stories about LLC so that I can incorporate them into the Memorial Concert programme.
There will be a reception afterward. I also hope to get into the UWO concert archives and play recordings of LLC's recitals. I also thought it would be nice to find a really good picture of him, enlarge and frame it, and donate it to the Faculty of Music to put on the wall either in the lobby or down in the organ studio.
You can also contact Paul Merritt at First-St. Andrews in London, Ontario. Paul will be the mc and must play, too -- he is such a fantastic performer! I intend to play the Franck Priere, one of Dr. Cortner's signature pieces -- I'm using his own score, too, with all his fingering, pedalling and interpretive markings. It would be really great if we had at least five people to play.
Gabriel Kney will be working on repairs for the Casavant organ in the studio, so it will be in tip-top shape! Everyone I can think of will be invited, and the concert will be open to the public. Please spread the word!
