SHORT STORY OF THE SPRING ORGAN DAY
On the 21st March 2004,Pescara in Abruzzo saw the birth of the Italian Organ Day for the same reasons described above. Designed by me, it was made voluntarily and enthusiastically received throughout Italy by major Italian organists at their churches or their music academies.
To cite a few ones: Louis F. Tagliavini, Giancarlo Parodi, Louis Celeghin, Giorgio Carnini, W. Van de Pool, James E. Goettsche, Massimo Nosetti, Liwue Tamminga and many others.
2006 saw no less than 500 events. Among the awards we received, the prestigious ones were those of the Vatican, the President of the Republic, the First Minister and Minister of Culture of the Italian Government.
In 2007, with the join of the relevant European organists, the initiative became the 1st EurOrganDay and it immediately gained the prestigious recognition of the International Society of Art & Research - PALMAS "for the artistic quality of professionalism expressed in the initiative Vs "European Day for Organ 2007 '" and a welcome letter from Pope Benedict XVI.
Several organists participated, including Mark and Francis Indorf I saw him, Torsten Laux, Paul Crivello, Klemens Schnorr, Marc Giacone, Thierry Mechler, Michal Novenko, Andres Uibo, Luc Ponet, Antoine et Virgile Renoult Monin, Cor Ardesch, Juan R . Biava, Michael Austin, James Edward Goettsche and Domenico Severin, just to cite a few. Voluntary initiatives were held in Paris, Helsinki, Hamburg, Geislingen, Amsterdam, Monte Carlo, Brussels, Prague, Tallinn, Tongeren, Rennes, Dordrecht, Monaco, Pfarzheim, Meaux and other Italian and European cities, as you can see from the rich calendar and documents attached.
In 2013 it became WORLD ORGAN DAY extending the invitation to organists in various parts of the world the initiative was attended among many organists from other parts of the world enjoying Authoritative Awards including the ONU United Nations for Culture for the idea of "Unity and Artistic Interest" among peoples.
The organists were joined by previous: Cristina GarcĂa Banegas from Montevideo, Uruguay, James Kibbie from "The University of Michigan USA, Brennan Szafron from Spartanburg, SC, USA, Paul Barte from the Dayton Chapter of the American Guild of Organists OHIO, USA, from Robert Wagner Sydney Grammar School; Geert Jan Pottjewijd, St Andrew's Cathedral, SydneyAustralia - KerstiPetermann, KristelAer-daTallinn, Estonia Stephen Martorella-from The First Baptist Church in America, Providence, Rhode Island, USA, John Grew by CANADA and others from various countries.
On March 21 around the world every organist pays homage to Bach on his own, and this is really praiseworthy. And, you know, celebrating it altogether united, we could make a an UNIVERSAL celebration, such as Bach,
