January 8

10:30 worship

Meet Haruhito Miyagi, assistant organist for a season. Mr. Miyagi is currently working towards a PhD in music composition at the University of Utah. He holds bachelors and masters degrees in organ performance from BYU and Notre Dame, respectively, and his résumé includes numerous credits as organist, pianist, teacher, lecturer, conductor, and composer. By the way, he is giving an all-Liszt organ recital at Libby Gardner Hall on the U of U campus October 16th at 7:30 pm.Mr. Miyagi is a personal friend of our regular and long-time organist, David Chamberlin, who is delighted to share his position about half of the time for the rest of the calendar year. During this time, Mr. Chamberlin will be working practically every weekday as an organ builder on the new organ at St. Mark’s Cathedral downtown, and making the commute from American Fork six days a week just seemed a bit much. Mr. Chamberlin just hopes the people of Zion won’t be too let down when he starts playing every Sunday again!
