Stephen Buzard In Recital

Friday, October 6, 7:30 PM King Avenue United Methodist Church

299 King Avenue, Columbus, OH 43201

Stephen Buzard is the Director of Music at St. James Cathedral in Chicago. He is the principal musician at St. James, playing the organ for services and directing the Cathedral Choir. Mr. Buzard came to St. James from Saint Thom-as Church Fifth Avenue in New York City where he served as Assistant Organist un-til the untimely passing of their Director of Music John Scott in August 2015. Fol-lowing this tragedy, Mr. Buzard became Acting Organist and Director of Music, di-recting the prestigious choir of men and boys in their rigorous routine of daily ser-vices. Mr. Buzard holds a Master of Music degree from the Yale Institute of Sacred Music where he studied organ with Thomas Murray and improvisation with Jeffrey Brillhart. While at Yale, Mr. Buzard served as organ scholar at Trinity on the Green, New Haven, Connecticut; as principal organist of Berkeley Divinity School at Yale University; and as organist for Marquand Chapel, Yale Divinity School.

Mr. Buzard earned his Bachelor of Music degree from Westminster Choir College in 2010 where he studied organ with virtuoso Ken Cowan. While an under-graduate, Mr. Buzard was concurrently organ scholar at Trinity Episcopal Church, Princeton, New Jersey and Director of Music for the Episcopal Church at Princeton University. Before starting at Yale Mr. Buzard spent a year in England as Senior Or-gan Scholar of Wells Cathedral where he accompanied and conducted in daily ser-vices and assisted in the training of the boy and girl choristers.

Mr. Buzard was raised in a household full of organ music. His father is the president and founder of Buzard Pipe Organbuilders, and his mother is the organist-choirmaster at the Chapel of St. John the Divine in Champaign, Illinois. Mr. Buzard was the winner of the 2010 Arthur Poister Competition and the 2009 Joan Lippincott Competition for Excellence in Organ Performance. Mr. Buzard is an Associate of the American Guild of Organists, winning the Elmer and Associate Prizes for high-est score on an AGO exam nationally. This year he was named one of the “top 20 organists under 30” by The Diapason magazine.

Mr. Buzard is under exclusive management of Karen MacFarlane Artists. For more information, please visit www.stephenbuzard.com.

King Avenue Players' Presents THE FANTASTICKS. Music by Harvey Schmidt, book and lyrics by Tom Jones. ABOUT THE SHOW:

THE FANTASTICKS is a funny and romantic musical about a boy, a girl, and their two fathers who try to keep them apart. The narrator, El Gallo, asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic. The boy and the girl fall in love, grow apart and finally find their way back to each other after realizing the truth in El Gallo's words that, "without a hurt, the heart is hollow."

All performances take place at King Avenue UMC. Childcare will be available during the Friday and Sunday performances.

Admission is free, but a $10 donation is encouraged.

Please note that eastbound King Avenue can be backed up between 315 and the church. Once you are on King Avenue, you may want to consider taking one of the alleys that run parallel on either the north or south of King Avenue. The alley to the north will take you to the Pennsylvania lot. The alley to the south will lead to the Cir-cles and the church lots. One way or another, we hope to see you at worship on October 15!

Darris Blackford, Marathon race director, has told us that our worship participants may access the church from 315 north or south and taking King Avenue east. Check the map for further directions, or visit their website http://www.columbusmarathon.com/course-map
