Welcome to the world of Pipe Organ Encounters, the most successful outreach program sponsored by the American Guild of Organists! POEs offer teenagers and adults a rewarding opportunity to learn more about the pipe organ and its construction, instruction with experienced faulty, visits to hear and play outstanding instruments, and the chance to meet and interact with peers who share an interest in the King of Instruments. Pipe Organ Encounter programs are overseen by the Committee on the New Organist (CONO), a part of the education branch of the National Council of the AGO.
