[lastupdated]

Message from the Dean 

We have just finished celebrating 75 years of  our chapter’s existence.!This past year has again been very rewarding and informative having: recitals with and without a choir, workshop  on the authenticity of hymn singing,  an international Netherlands day with food and organ music,  AGO organ Fest highlights,  and Review of of the AGO book ” Employing Musicians in Religious Institutions”, to name a few. We are continuing with our May 21st Meeting occurring in Wellsboro, PA where an organ crawl will take place at First Presbyterian Church and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. The organ crawl will be hosted by Marian Miller.

All area musicians are welcome.
