STANISLAUS CHAPTER

Message from the Dean

Dear Visitor,

On behalf of the American Guild of Organists, Stanislaus Chapter, I want to welcome you to our web site. The American Guild of Organists is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the organ and encouraging excellence in the performance of both choral and organ music.

The Stanislaus Chapter has been an active leader in the arts community through our many and varied events. We hold regular recitals featuring professional musicians from the community as well as the next generation of organists who are studying and learning the instrument. We have been privileged to host these events in conjunction with the MJC Organ Department, which has been training organists for decades. We also sponsor special concerts featuring outstanding world class artists, such as Everhard Zwart (Netherlands), and most recently David Dahl (professor emertus Pacific Lutheran University). The organ crawl is another favorite event. On an organ crawl we visit and play selected instruments from the fine selection that California has to offer. Furthermore, we hold workshops such as the Pedals, Pizza, and Pipes, designed to reveal more about the wonderful world of the pipe organ.

If you would like to learn more about the guild, or would like more information about an upcoming event, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Barbara Vukich
Dean, Stanislaus Chapter AGO
