Membership |
| EVERYONE is most welcome to join our chapter - organists, choir directors, directors of music, and all those who love organ and choral music, regardless of denominational affiliation or musical ability. We have a great time socializing with and learning from each other, and would love to meet you at one of our Chapter Meetings!
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter was originally chartered as the Chester Chapter on April 30, 1961. The name was changed on May 20, 1967, because many of the Chapter's members lived and worked in the surrounding communities, and it was felt that the new name would be more inclusive. Since its origin, this Chapter has presented lectures, recitals, and workshops at monthly meetings. These programs teach, encourage, and support the church musicians and provide opportunities to develop friendships with fellow musicians. The Chapter also prints a monthly newsletter, "Vox Humana", which keeps members informed of Chapter news and events, contains useful articles, and lists local job opportunities. For more information, please contact: Gerald F. Troy, Treasurer and Registrar 3750 Woodland Ave. Drexel Hill, PA 19026 610-626-5486 gftroy@aol.com Further information about AGO membership may be found at: http://www.agohq.org/membership/indexjoin.html |
