Concert to dedicate new organ for center
By JERRI NIEBAUM
Staff writer
Music as big as an orchestra wins sound from one man and one large instrument at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road, tonight.
A world-renowned organist will play a concert at 8 p.m. to dedicate the band's new masterpiece.
Karel Paukert, curator of musical arts of the Cleveland Museum of Art and chairman of the organ department at the Cleveland Institute of Music, will perform a concert of both classical and contemporary music on the $150,000 mechanical tracker organ.
"Himm. Quite a bit of sound." Paukert said yesterday after rehearsing a piece that he will perform.
He spoke to Don Reich, designer and builder of the organ from the Andover Organ Company in Lawrence. Mass. Reich was finishing some of the organ's woodwork as Paukert rehearsed.
The Rev. Vince Krische, director of the center, said he chose Paukert to play the dedication concert because Paukert was known nationally.
The organ will be ready for the dedication, and so will the organist. Paukert will have practiced about 10 hours on the organ before this evening. He said every organ had a different tonal quality, which he must discover in rehearsal and then use with his music.
"You have a genuine art experi-
ence when the music blends with the inster-
spectacle."
Paukert has played organ since he
was a student in Czechoslovakia,
while he was born and studied at the
University of Prague.
He said he remembered hearing music at church and on the radio as a child. It became a way of communicating for him.
"We enjoy sharing our music with people who want to listen to it," he said.
Paukert came to the United States in 1964 because he thought he would have more opportunities to play the organ and to study.
"I want to be free to play and to do things that I want to do." he said.
Organs, which have been used to salute emperors, can create complex musical tones that resemble an orchestra or a simple tone that “bounces, that dances.” Paukert said.
And a large, broad sound can create a new set of emotions.
"There's a certain animal-like excitement." Paukert said.
Organs also attract Paukert spiritually. He said he appreciated the everlasting qualities of an organ, which suit it to a church.
"It can really uplift people," he said.
A U.S. citizen since 1972, Paukert has taught organ and harpischord at Washington University in St. Louis, where he conducted the University Chamber Orchestra, and has been an associate professor of organ and music at Northwestern University in Chicago.
Now, besides working at the art and music institutes in Cleveland, Paukert is organist and choirmaster in the Episcopal Church in Cleveland Heights.
An unknown person or people smashed the windshield of a KU student's car which was parked in the 1100 block of Kentucky Street sometime between midnight Tuesday and 3 a.m. Wednesday, Lawrence police said.
