Message from the Dean

AGO MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the American Guild of Organists is to promote the organ in its historic and evolving roles, to encourage excellence in the performance of organ and choral music, and to provide a forum for mutual support, inspiration, education, and certification of Guild members.
****
The Redwood Empire Chapter of the AGO invites organists, choral directors, students, and organ enthusiasts who live or work north of the Golden Gate to become dual members of the Redwood Empire Chapter (Sonoma, Napa, and Lake Counties) and the San Francisco AGO.

The North Bay “wine country” is full of arts and music venues. We sponsor and present periodic organ and choral recitals and join with others regionally in supporting the arts.

Come play the organ with us at a “members’ recital.”
