CA & NV Organs to Play

[myorgan]

I've tried this once before, earlier in the year, but received no responses. Here goes again. No need to bring the organ shoes in my carry-on if they won't be used.:-(

I am going to be in the Los Angeles, CA & Las Vegas, NV areas in a couple of weeks and was looking for notable pipe organs that may be open to see and play. Help, and thanks in advance.

P.S. I already have leads on the Disney Concert Hall and the Segerstrom Concert Hall organs. I'm looking for other, more accessible organs.

See, I knew it was a waste of time to post this here. This Forum has gone to hell in a handbasket!X-(

I don't know what to say. I have no information to share, which is why I did not post. However, I did a Google search on "southern california pipe organs" and found these links:

Well, I think you get the idea. I would recommend you do a search of your own--only you really know what you are seeking.

David,

Thank you for your response, at least. Since I've been on this Forum for years, I was hoping that at this point (over 1,300 posts), I'd have made some acquaintances who might be able to help with this. As you probably know, David, if I walk into a church, auditorium, or ampitheatre and say, "Let me play your organ," the response won't be overwhelmingly positive. In fact, at the church I attended growing up, it took me 6 months to get permission to play the organ--even though I was playing piano for services that were broadcasted!=-O Death by Committee is alive and well!

Yes, I do know how to perform a Google search, but was hoping more for a personal referral. I guess I'll have to rely on my Symphony director and conductor for that. They're both from Southern CA, but haven't responded to my e-mail of 2 months ago yet.

Sorry if I seem down--it's been a VERY hard Winter and Spring personally, and it doesn't look like it's getting any better soon. California has something to do with that too--my original plans aren't working out, so I'm trying for a backup plan of turning it into a business trip. At least that way, it'd be a tax write-off.:-> Oh, well. Can't say I didn't try!
