Les Bois Chapter




Last updated: February 27, 2007

Message from the Dean

The Les Bois American Guild of Organists Chapter is over 50 years old
and serves the greater Treasure and Magic Valleys in Southern Idaho.
Programs throughout the year are presented to our communities to foster a
greater appreciation of organ literature and help encourage and promote the
organ as a viable and artistic instrument. A monthly newsletter is
published containing spiritual enrichment from our chaplain, vacancies of
organ positions, substitute organists availability, upcoming programs, and
community events related to the organ or church music. We encourage and
support our organists by having meaningful programs which meet the needs of
our membership. New members are always welcome.
