following our worship to greet our organists, Margaret and Warren Scharf Warren and Margaret Scharf met
while both were graduate students at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New
York. Both have earned Doctoral degrees and Performance Certificates in
Organ from that prestigious institution. Upon completing her Master’s Degree in
1953, Margaret accepted a one year position at the Music Conservatory at Hastings
College in Hastings, Nebraska. Four years later in 1957, she returned to Hastings,
this time with her husband Warren; they both accepted positions on the faculty
at Hastings College where they remained until 1965. Their professional paths have
differed slightly over the years; Margaret has always viewed organ performance,
teaching organ performance, and service-playing as her highest calling and has
excelled in this area. She has appeared as a recitalist in New York City, Washington,
Chicago, Denver, Birmingham, Oklahoma City, Rochester, Omaha, Cleveland, Akron,
Toledo, and Columbus. She currently serves as professor of organ at Cleveland
State University and Baldwin Wallace College in Berea, Ohio. While in Hastings,
Margaret served as organist at First Presbyterian Church and for thirty years
(1969-1999) she and Warren were co-directors of music at the historic “Old Stone
Church” in Cleveland. From 1957 to 1960, Warren served
as assistant professor at Hastings College, and from 1961-65 was chair of the
music department. From 1963 to 1965 he served as choir director at First
Presbyterian Church in Hastings. From 1965 to 1967 Warren served as the
Executive Director of the National Association of Schools of Music in our
nation’s capital, and from there moved to Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, OH
where he served as Director of the Conservatory from 1967 to 1984. Warren and Margaret present a
monthly series of concerts of sacred music, Music Under the Spire, in
the Baldwin-Wallace College Chapel, and have performed as a duo in Denver, Oklahoma
City, Chicago and at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Both Warren and Margaret are
in the eighth generation of a teacher-student lineage going back to Johann
Sebastian Bach. 3:00 p.m. August 28, 2004
