This month we are crossing the Atlantic to meet Scott Schreiber from Gilbert, Arizona. Scott’s story is inspiring and shows the power of music – how grabbing your instrument and getting out there and gigging keeps the fun in your life!
Scott plays with The Triplicity Band www.thetriplicityband.com. Formed in 2015, The Triplicity Band has already become a recognized name in the East Valley 55+ communities.
Philip Scriven is a renowned organist, described as “A superb organist with formidable technique!”. Visit his website philipscriven.com
We first met Philip at Spring Harvest in Minehead a few years ago when he visited the Cambron stand. Some time later, his interest in Power Music was re-awakened when he read an article about another famous organist, Kevin Bowyer, who uses Power Music at Glasgow University Chapel and for recitals around the world.
Philip now uses two Power Music systems – a 27 inch touchscreen system in the chapel of Cranleigh School and a 24 inch touchscreen system for performing “on the road”.
Alun McCarthy, one of the first Power Music users, is a talented worship leader, guitarist and singer.
Alun is one of the most enthusiastic and encouraging Power Music users we have. We meet up with him every year at the Mission Worship Conference in Eastbourne in November. He will be inteviewed at the seminar “Going Digital” (presented by our own Gordon Cameron) at this year’s Mission Worship.
Richard (Rick) Hall is a multi-talented Christian musician, Worship Leader and Composer based near Beverley, East Yorkshire.
Richard has been using Power Music for many years now and endorses Power Music wherever he plays.
Adam Sztaba from Poland is a renowned composer, music producer, conductor, arranger and pianist.
Adam has been using Power Music on a MusicOne CV24 for several years now and would not be without it! Visit his website http://sztaba.pl
Jo Boyce is a songwriter, musician, singer and worship leader and is one of the founding directors of cjm|music.
Jo and the cjm team have performed at many venues including Birmingham’s Symphony Hall and recently featured in this year’s Songs of Praise series.
Jo has just released her first solo studio recording – a six track EP entitled ‘In God Alone – Songs of Hope and Consolation’. Click here for details and to listen to samples of the inspiring tracks.
At the heart of cjm|music’s mission and vision is a commitment to resourcing pastoral musicians, liturgical ministers, worship leaders, teachers and catechists; engaging the skills of young people and to serving the church through the ministry of music and liturgy.
Several years ago Shona and some other member of her church in Viewpark attended the Mission Worship conference in Eastbourne, where we were exhibiting. They came to our stand and watched Power Music being demonstrated.
As most churches do – they thought about it for quite a long time! Then in November 2013 they took the plunge and invested in a complete band setup – monitors, stands, computer and Power Music.
Alan Cugnoni is a banjo player and jazz band member who has been using Power Music for many years and cannot live without it now!
We are delighted that Power Music appeals to all ages and all types of musicians.
Kevin Bowyer, Glasgow University Chapel Organist (Scotland, UK), has performed and broadcast all over the world, and has released around ninety recordings, including all of Bach’s organ music for the Nimbus recording label. His recital repertoire is enormous and ever expanding; in an article restricted to European organ music of the twentieth century, he mentions over one hundred composers whose music he has played.
Though he sees contemporary music as his vocation, he plays organ music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods onwards, and has shown an appreciation for the qualities of historical instruments in such music.
