Greensburg Chapter

When you join the American Guild of Organists, you are joining a national organization of people who share a passion for the organ.

Welcome to the Greensburg AGO webpage! We are happy that you are here and hope that you will find the information that you seek and also find inspiration for your musical journey! As a Chapter of the American Guild of Organists we aim to echo the mission of the Guild in all that we do. Our mission, as stated on the AGO National website is "to foster a thriving community of musicians who share their knowledge and inspire passion for the organ." 

Locally, we do this by sponsoring events that focus on one of three areas: workshops to increase our skills in a wide variety of areas related to organ music and related topics, recitals for the pure enjoyment of hearing organ music as well as to support fellow talented musicians and social events where we gather to enjoy the company of other organists and to have the opportunity to share more informally about our shared passion for this magnificent instrument. 

Through these events, we aim to locally echo the purposes of the national American Guild of Organists, which are:

·         To advance the cause of organ and choral music, to increase their contributions to aesthetic and religious experiences, and to promote their understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment.

·         To improve the proficiency of organists and choral conductors.

·         To evaluate, by examination, attainments in organ playing, choral techniques, conducting, and the theory and general knowledge of music, and to grant certificates to those who pass such examinations at specified levels of attainment.

·         To provide members with opportunities to meet for discussion of professional topics, and to pursue such other activities as contribute to the fulfillment of the purposes of the Guild.

You can contribute to creating a vital chapter by attending and participating in our upcoming events:
