Frederick Swann dedication recital

Frederick Swann performed the May 9 opening recital of the organ dedication season to a capacity audience at First Congregational Church, Saginaw, Michigan. Swann, past president (2002–2008) of the American Guild of Organists, performed repertoire by Bach, Franck, Guilmant, Hebble, Karg-Elert, Whitlock, and Wright.

First Congregational Church recently completed a $500,000 project renovating Skinner Opus 751. Scott Smith Pipe Organs of Lansing, Michigan, supervised the project, their Opus 3 (4 manuals, 48 ranks), which includes artisans, craftsmen, and subcontractors from throughout the country.
