Stan's Music Parlor--Hauptwerk Recitals in Los Angeles

PostSat Jul 29, 2017 1:08 pm

https://www.facebook.com/StansMusicParlor90019/

Stanley Harris has hosted private Music Parlor concerts since 1986 in his 1926 Los Angeles residence. The Music Parlor includes a Steinway B grand piano, a Johannus-BachMen-Hauptwerk organ and a 19th century Bell & Co. harmonium.

More than 250 musicians, including over 40 organists, have shared great music with appreciative friends and family. Concerts are scheduled weekly. Last prepandemic year, more than 1500 guests attended. No fees are charged or paid. Guests are invited to donate to the musicians and may also contribute healthy refreshments.

In 1998, a Johannus Sweelinck-30 3 manual, 58 voice, 77 “rank” digital organ was installed in the Music Parlor. The organ simulates two styles of pipe organs--18th century baroque and 19th century romantic.

A Toshiba Tecra 730XCDT notebook computer with Johannus Intonat software creates more styles of Johannus organs. Cubase and Cakewalk software record and play midi sequences to create “player organ” performances.

A Johannus Classic Sound Module CSM-128 adds 48 sampled orchestral and organ voices, and a Roland JV-1010 Synthesizer Module generates more than 1000 additional sounds. Johannus Digital Stereo Acoustic DSA-4 adds acoustic effects to the Music Parlor.

In 2010, Rosales Organ Builders installed a 2 rank (8' Gedeckt and 4' Principal) 1984 BachMen OrganCrafters pipe organ that was purchased from an Ohio church. Artisan Instruments designed a computerized midi interface between the console and pipework that enables an organist to play up to 30 stops with pipework. Manuel Rosales voiced and tuned the 144 pipes.

The Johannus organ console connects via an M-Audio 410 Firewire midi/audio interface to a Hauptwerk virtual pipe organ system that uses an HP Pavilion Elite i7, 24 GB RAM computer with over 150 sample sets of virtual pipe organs and keyboard instruments on its 7.5 TB hard drive.

Organists select a Hauptwerk virtual instrument, a Roland voice, a Johannus digital organ, and/or the BachMen pipe organ to play independently or in combination.

The organ's audio system includes 22 amplifiers, 8 sub-woofers, and over 100 speakers in the music parlor, dining room, and stairwell to create music in various acoustic environments. Johannus and Hauptwerk organs use 16 channels for 3D divisional audio imaging, and 4 channels each for surround acoustic enhancement.

Organists who have performed at Music Parlor programs include Scott Anderson, Midori Ataka, Peter Bates, Kyle Black, Christoph Bull, Carol Camm, John Cannon, Kevin Cartwright, Hsiao-Ching Chao, Chelsea Chen, Angela Kraft Cross, Sarah Danielle, Leslie Deutsch, Stewart Foster, Nicholas Galinaitis, Robert Gaylord, Jacopo Giacopuzzi, Ronald Gibson, David Goode, Gedymin Grubba, Ethan Haman, Namhee Han, Mallory Haney, Stanley Harris, Lukas Hasler, David Hegarty, Wilbur Held, Philip Hoch, Lawrence Hutchens, Emil Iliev, Brett Judson, Paul Kellogg, Andrew Knox, Matthieu Latreille, Minh Le, Jae Rim Lee, James Lent, Griffin McMahon, Stephen Main, Zeljko Marasovich, Thomas Mellan, Tom Mueller, Rudolf Muller, Edward Murray, Yuhan Niu, Frances Nobert, Minh Nguyen, Arthur Omura, Jeffrey Parola, Danny Pravder, Charles Raasch, Sven Reiche, Curtis Rhodes, Jelil Romano, Curt Sather, Greg Schreiner, Justin Senneff, Angie Shyr, Joseph Simms, Philip Smith, Sharon and SC Sung, Mark Thallander, James Vail, MaksimVelichkin, Francois Vaillancourt, David Wheatley, Tyrone Whiting, Robert Woolsey, Hui Wu.

If you would like to play this instrument, please send me a private message.

Re: Hauptwerk Recital Series in Los Angeles: Stan's Music Pa

PostSat Jul 29, 2017 1:14 pm

Stan's Music Parlor: 7:30 pm SUNDAY, JULY 30: Dr. Stephen Main, organist

BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised in New York City, Stephen Main has music in his blood: his mother taught piano and his father, Tom Main, was a professional jazz trombonist with Si Zentner's band in the 60s. As a choirboy Steve sang at St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue under Gerre Hancock. He went on to study violin, piano, organ, theory and composition at the Choate School and then at Oberlin Conservatory. At the same time, he earned his B.A., M.A., and eventually his Ph.D. in Religious Philosophy from the University of Chicago. He is currently the Music Director at Piedmont Community Church, in the Bay Area, where he composes and conducts regular choral and orchestral performances. Stephen is active as an organist, harpist and conductor, with recent appearances in San Francisco, throughout Northern California, New York, Cincinnati and Los Angeles. He lives in San Francisco and LA.

As a composer, Steve's work has included the recent publication of new choral and symphonic works, multiple commissions, and the completion of the scores for several films. He is a First Prize Winner of the John Ness Beck award for a new American choral work, and and a 2007 winner of the American Composers Forum carol contest. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune hailed Stephen’s work as “evocative” music that “captures mystery.”

PROGRAM
Music by Buxtehude, Pachelbel, Bruhns, Respighi, Vierne, and Steve Main (me!)...
played on virtual pipe organs, including Europe's largest mechanical organ, the 1973 Marcussen in Rotterdam!
Plus a couple of surprises... *;) winking

Dr. Namhee Han: 300 Years of Great Organ Music!

To receive an invitation, please send me your email address via private message.

Arrival: 7:30 pm Saturday, October 7
Doors close for music: 8 pm
Reception follows.

BIOGRAPHY

Playing from the heart defines organist Namhee Han’s approach to music-making. She gave the opening concert for the renowned Los Angeles Bach Festival in 2013 and has performed at the National and Regional Conventions of the American Guild of Organists (AGO). Constantly expanding the repertoire of her artistic expressions, she has played with orchestras such the Pacific Symphony, Los Angeles Master Chorale (organ) and the GRAMMY award-winning Southwest Chamber Music (harpsichord and harmonium).

A native of South Korea, Namhee studied the piano from age eight. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in English education from Seoul National University, she came to the US to pursue graduate studies in linguistics. It was then that she encountered the organ and became immediately fascinated with the limitless tonal and expressive possibilities of the instrument. She began organ study with Thomas Harmon in 1999 and completed Master's and Doctoral degrees in organ performance at UCLA working with Christoph Bull. In addition, she holds Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in applied linguistics from UCLA. Dr. Han has coached with Marie-Claire Alain, Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini, Jean Guillou and Guy Bovet, and participated in master classes by such eminent teacher-organists as David Craighead, Frederick Swann, Marilyn Keiser, Todd Wilson, Christopher Herrick, Paul Jacobs, Kimberly Marshall and Sophie-Véronique Cauchefer-Choplin. She has also studied with Philip Smith, the Organ Conservator at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

The resident organist at Westwood Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, Dr. Han is keenly interested in contributing to the music community in Southern California and regularly collaborates with instrumentalists, orchestras and choral groups in local performances. Her recent performance projects include playing solo and duo organ pieces for the DVD “The story of the Walt Disney Concert Hall organ” (http://disneyhallorgan.com/). Her piano and organ students have successfully gained admission into prestigious music schools. She enjoys maintaining an intellectually stimulating and physically active life.
