A Word from National Headquarters


The AGO National Council is committed to membership recruitment, retention, and growth within our organization. During the Year of the Young Organist, July 1, 2021–June 30, 2022, any individual under the age of 30 can become a member or renew her/his membership for free as part of this program. Events and new initiatives will be held throughout the year. As part of the Year of the Young Organist, the AGO is now accepting applications from host chapters that wish to partner with religious institutions to offer a one-year, gap-year (between college and graduate school) organ scholar internship. If you have students or know of anyone who would be interested in this, please reach out to your chapter officers. 


Your Support Counts!

Don’t be scammed! Scammers have been trying to take advantage of AGO members with bogus emails regarding the purchase of gift cards, a free baby grand piano, payment schemes for weddings, organ lessons for international students, and convention mailing lists. Be vigilant if you receive any email that asks you to spend money or send someone a check. Scammers ALWAYS try to separate you from your money. Don’t fall for these scams.
