A Message from the Dean

Welcome!

The Cleveland Chapter of the American Guild of Organists is a local group connected with a national organization of organists and lovers of the organ and organ music.

Locally we are a group of about 200 members. We publish a monthly newsletter with listings of programs and jobs available in local churches. Members receive a national monthly magazine. We have monthly meetings, usually concerts or classes. We sponsor a biennial competition for young organists and award scholarships annually for the study of organ. We administer tests leading to certification in by national AGO.

We are excited about some local events coming up in the near future for our chapter. We are sponsoring The World's Largest Organ Concert on October 8, 2000 in conjunction with chapters around the country. We are very much looking forward to the opening of the restored Severance Hall organ in 2001 and plan to announce soon an organ crawl for our members.

We look forward to 2003 when we will be hosting a regional convention of the AGO in Cleveland. Watch for updates on these events on this site.

Take advantage of the information on our web site. Join us at a meeting. Become a member if you play the "King of Instruments" or just love organ music.

Sincerely,
Fern Jennings
Dean
