Priscilla Rawson Young (1909-2000), benefactor of our series of Bach Cantatas
Our benefactor Priscilla Rawson (Young) studied music with Stanley Chapwell at the Royal Academy of Music, London. Craig Smith, founder of Emmanuel Music, who also had studied with Chapwell, kept this portrait of her on his desk. See also 1909, 1942, 1971, 1973, 1994 & 2000.
- January. A funeral was held at Emmanuel for our organist Albert Williams Snow, who had recently retired and died at the age of sixty. Having studied under Wallace Goodrich at New England Conservatory of Music, he had become organist at Church of the Advent, Boston, before he replaced our organist Lynnwood Farnum in 1918. During his tenure he taught at NEC and served as organist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His memorial plaque (#G4), reconstructed by Ted Southwick in 2021, can be seen behind the chancel organ.
