Hymn-Playing Workshop with Robert McCormick

239 West 49th Street New York, NY 10019

The NYCAGO Education and Program Committees present Robert McCormick in a Hymn-Playing Workshop.  From the console, Mr. McCormick will discuss his approach to hymn-playing, best practices for hymn selection, registration, and advice for improvisation within the context of Anglo-Catholic liturgy.  Described by Choir & Organ as “indomitable and immensely gifted” and by The Macon Telegraph as “an artist of rare sensitivity and passion”, Mr. McCormick is widely heralded by his colleagues as one of the finest concert and church musicians of this era. He is the newly-appointed Organist and Director of Music at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont (Bryn Mawr), Pennsylvania.  This follows positions at Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church, Locust Street, Philadelphia, Saint Paul’s Parish, K Street, Washington, D.C. and the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, New York. He served for two years as Sub Dean of the New York City Chapter of the AGO and was co-chairperson of the 2014 National Conference of the Association of Anglican Musicians.

This event is free and open to all.
