POE Advanced

Participants and Faculty of the 2019 Houston POE Advanced

 

  • Is a 5-6 day event organized by a local AGO chapter under the sponsorship of the national organization. It provides a higher level of pipe organ instruction and an intensive course of study.
  • Is for young organists (no younger than 13 and no older than 18) entering grades 9 through 12, who play the organ at an advanced level. They must submit an audition recording and other supporting materials in order to apply to the POEA.
  • Provides an opportunity for participants to have individual instruction in pipe organ technique and performance with an artist faculty.
  • Provides intermediate to advanced classes in areas such as organ literature, history, pipe organ construction and design, music theory, improvisation, conducting, and service playing.
  • Most of all, provides a unique opportunity for participants to meet and interact with peers who have similar interests.
2023 Pipe Organ Encounter – Advanced

(for young organists ages 13-18 and entering grades 9 through 12 in the fall following the POEA)

There is no Pipe Organ Encounter Advanced offered in 2023.

Pipe Organ Encounters is an educational outreach program of the American Guild of Organists. Major funding for Pipe Organ Encounters is provided by the Associated Pipe Organ Builders of America. Additional support is provided by the American Institute of Organbuilders and the Jordan Organ Endowment. POE scholarships are provided by the AGO New Organist Fund.
