Welcome!
 
​Welcome to the web site of the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.

Our city and its surrounding areas boast a lively pipe organ culture, to which our Chapter members contribute significantly.

We invite all who love the pipe organ and its music to explore this website for opportunities to attend AGO-sponsored events as well as concerts in our churches and concert halls. All are welcome, no matter if you're an official AGO member or not. Our mission is to share the glories of the "King of Instruments" with everyone.

Perhaps you found this site because you are interested in becoming a member of the Chapter. We would be delighted if you would join our ranks. To join, go to agohq.org. Click on the Membership tab, then Join the AGO, and specify the DC chapter. We also welcome you to become a dual member with us and your home chapter.

Thank you for visiting us. We hope that you will join us for one or more of our seasonal events.

On April 11, our chapter will join the NOVA AGO chapter and Hilbus chapter of the Organ Historical Society for an organ crawl in Richmond. The highlight will be a visit to the stunning new  Juget-Sinclair organ (Op. 55) at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. The group will also 
visit two other Juget organs in the area. While it is too late to sign up for bus transportation, everyone is invited to meet the group at the cathedral at 1 pm. The trip is open to AGO members and nonmembers alike.
