Co-hosted by the Theatre Organ Society of San Diego Dave will be presenting a variety of music styles on the 4-manual Wonder Morton Theatre Organ housed on the stage of the Balboa Theatre in downtown San Diego. Named 2011 “Organist of the Year” by the American Theatre Organ Society, Dave Wickerham has a lifetime of experience in the organ industry. Born in Encino, California Dave began his musical journey at only four years old playing an electric pipe organ, eventually graduating to pipe organs at the age of seven. Dave studied classical organ studies on a full scholarship at the University of Arizona with Dr. Roy Johnson for six years. While in Arizona he had the pleasure of being mentored by Roseamond Crawley, one of the rare and limited descendants of Louis Vierne organists while playing as an Associate Organist at the renowned Organ Stop Pizza Restaurants in Mesa, Pheonix, and Tucson. Throughout his career, Wickerham has traveled both internationally to Australia and around the United States to perform at organist conventions. Dave records music as well, including his sold-out CD “Sounds of Music” recorded on the famous 5 Manual, 80 Rank Theatre Organ at Sanfilippo Residence in Barrington, IL.

The Fame of the Prodigal Son: Il Guercino's Many Portrayals of Him The Italian artist known as Il Guercino (“squint-eyed”), and sometimes dubbed “the Rembrandt of Southern Europe,” painted numerous versions of the parable of the Prodigal Son from the Gospel of Luke. A comparative study of five of these paintings, one of which is on exhibit in the Timken, raises some interesting questions about how the artist may have wanted his portrayal of the parable to relate to viewers given his 16thcentury historical context. Some brief comparisons with “the Northern” Rembrandt’s own version will also be made. Saints and Sinners in Great Art Join Timken Docent and USD Professor of Biblical Studies (ret.) Dr. Florence Gillman for presentations about the famous saints and sinners in some of the Timken’s masterpieces. There is so much more to find out about their stories and their artistic portrayals than we often realize!
