Sequoia Chapter |
| Last updated: September 13, 2012 |
Message from the Dean |
| Welcome to our webpage! Our community (Eureka, Arcata, McKinleyville, Fortuna, Trinidad) is on the beautiful North Coast of California, surrounded by redwood forest. Pipe organs in the area range from a one-manual Bosch tracker at Humboldt State University (Arcata) to a new Charles Kegg III/30 at Christ Episcopal Church (Eureka).
Our small chapter offers organ scholarships which pay for one half of the cost of 12 private lessons. Contact the Dean of the Chapter for application forms. Lessons are available for beginners to advanced levels, and some piano experience is preferred. We welcome all communication from other organists and always welcome new members. You may join the Chapter at either the national level or as a Chapter Friend. Contact our Secretary/Treasurer for membership information. |

The "Christ Church Concert Series" sponsors concerts and events throughout the year. Past guest artists have included Ken Cowan, James Welch, Alan Lewis, Fred Swann, and Chelsea Chen.
