Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 26 | The Three-Legged Stool of the Organ with Damin Spritzer
Q: What advice would you give to young organists about building a career that includes teaching, performing, and church work?
Damin emphasizes relationality and community—forming networks with colleagues, clergy, presenters, and institutions, and viewing the organ as a collaborative enterprise rather than a solitary pursuit.
Episode 26 | The Three-Legged Stool of the Organ with Damin Spritzer
Q: How do you approach programming and pairing familiar canonical works with lesser-known pieces in your recordings?
She describes a pedagogy-driven approach that blends teaching with performance, using connections to students and teachers to frame repertoire choices, and seeking pieces whose stories or timbres illuminate both tradition and discovery.
Episode 26 | The Three-Legged Stool of the Organ with Damin Spritzer
Q: You've had the wonderful opportunity to play hundreds of organs around the world, what are some of your favorite moments or instruments you've played?
Damin shares experiences that highlight the emotional and spiritual impact of seeing spaces like Berliner Dom and St. Paul's, and how certain instruments evoke a sense of history and living tradition, emphasizing the personal connection between performer, space, and repertoire.
Episode 24 | A Great Host of Women Composers with Susan Jane Matthews
Q: Well, can you tell people a little bit about your current job? Tell us about the instrument.
We have a 1929 Skinner organ, a modest-sized instrument with two enclosed manuals that provides a lot of color and flexibility, which suits the church's needs and our choir program.
Episode 25 | France, Germany, and the UK with Katelyn Emerson
Q: What would you tell a young person interested in the organ?
Find the helpers who will support and push you to improve, embrace hard work, learn new skills (like coding) that help your career, and stay curious about opportunities that may pivot your path toward something even better.
