The Albert Schweitzer Organ Festival Hartford (ASOFH), founded in 1997, is an annual national festival and organ competition with the mission of encouraging and inspiring excellence in organ performance by young emerging artists. The festival has been in residence at Trinity College since 2016, and furthers the college’s legacy of educating undergraduate musicians in the art of organ performance and sacred music in the context of a world-class liberal arts education. In addition to solo repertoire and hymn-playing competitions, the festival presents concerts in Hartford and the surrounding area, including solo organ recitals, concerto performances with orchestra, and choral presentations which feature the organ. The 2017 festival concluded with a Service of Holy Communion at the Trinity College Chapel, at which The Chapel Singers collaborated with the choir of St. James’s Church, West Hartford (Vaughn Mauren ’07, organist and choirmaster) and the choirs of St. John’s Church, West Hartford (Scot Lamlein, director of music and organist). The combined multi-generational choirs (featuring singers ages 7 through 82) gave the premiere performance of Philip J. Stopford’s setting of Psalm 150, commissioned by the ASOFH in memory of its founder, David Spicer. In the spring of 2018, the groups reunited at Trinity College to record their collaboration. The audio recording of ‘Psalm 150’ is available at the Trinity College Soundcloud station.
