2012 NYACOP The seven young organists below were chosen from the twenty-one official competitors who gained entry into the AGO National Young Artists Competition in Organ Performance in April 2011. Their submitted recordings for the official recorded round were judged anonymously in late 2011. Judges for the recorded round were Stephen Rapp, Andrew Risinger, and Anita Werling. The AGO and the NYACOP committee thank the judges for their careful and diligent work. The competitors’ biographical and contact information can be found in the September 2011 issue of The American Organist. AGO chapters are encouraged to host these talented young performers in recitals and workshops. The semifinal round will be held at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, on Friday, May 25, 2012. The Cleveland AGO Chapter is hosting and substantially underwriting this exciting event. The final round will be held on July 1, 2012, at Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral in Nashville, Tenn., during the AGO National Convention.
