Roadside Mysteries

At the CSU UCA:

The Casavent Frères Organ

It’s in the Organ Recital Hall of the University Center for the Arts (UCA).  The organ has 2,0079 pipes and takes up 4,500 square feet of floor space.

Sam Dawson

We’re at the 5th Annual Halloween Organ Extravaganza; Above Sam is dressed as a witch and played J.S. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in d minor. It’s the organ piece that is a halloween tradition!

William Harned

Dressed as Darth Vader, Mr. Vader played the Bach e minor Prelude and Fugue.

Dick Borowski

This time the Phantom of the Opera played the Prelude in g minor (The Toccata and Fugue in d minor was usually the phantom’s theme song as it were).

A trumpet gnome from the CSU Faculty Brass Quintet

Featuring the world premiere of Nicole Buetti’s ‘Through the Haunted Carnival’. Ms. Buetti is the professor of Applied Bassoon and Contra Bassoon at CSU-Pueblo. She will most-likely be in attendance at the “Bassoon-a-RAMa”, the Largest Gathering of Bassoonists in the World on November 19th at the CSA. Be there!

Rami Cho

As a little devil, Ms. Cho chose ‘Humoresque’ by Pietro Yon

Phyllis Furguson and Ting Ting Chan

Furious footwork was the key for these performers. Ms. Furguson knocked out a comical rendition of Noel Rawsthorne’s ‘Hornpipe Humoresque’ while Ms. Chan (not at the same time mind you) easily walked through Charles-Marie Widor’s “Allegro” from Symphony VI.
