North Shore Chapter AGO comprises the area north of Chicago to the Wisconsin border. Our membership is varied. We have members that hold positions at churches, colleges, and music schools. They teach privately and perform across the nation.
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 North Shore Chapter of the American Guild of Organists serves organists and choir directors in the Chicago area, especially the northern suburbs. We offer educational programs, entertainment, and fellowship to our members, as well as job placement information and services. Join us today!
