The Brooklyn Chapter celebrates the achievement of our Past Dean and longtime member, Jonathan Hall, in the publication of his book, Calvin Hampton: A Musician Without Borders. The book, a full-length biography of Calvin Hampton (1938-1984), is available from Wayne Leupold Editions. The website is www.wayneleupold.com.
A Musician Without Borders traces Calvin Hampton’s life from his birth in Pennsylvania and early life in Ohio, through his education, and through the rest of his short life; including twenty years of remarkable music ministry at Calvary Episcopal Church in Gramercy Park, Manhattan. While at Calvary, Hampton instituted the famous “Fridays at Midnight” organ recital series and produced sacred music that is in the Episcopal hymnal, and in other hymnals, to this day. Hampton’s legacy of organ music, as well as choral, instrumental, and orchestral music, comprises a fascinating and challenging legacy.
The book took shape as Hall’s doctoral essay at Indiana University, where he graduated in 2001. He is currently Music Director of Union Temple of Brooklyn and St. John’s Episcopal Church, Cornwall, NY. He served as Dean from 2006 to 2009.

Update: Thursday, August 27: details for the new webhost are now mostly sorted out, so the brooklynago.org URL will point to this page. As soon as we’re certain the DNS update is complete the site will be fully live.
Join us on Monday, January 19, 2009–Martin Luther King’s holiday–for a tour of historic pipe organs in New Jersey.
