Serving Southwest Indiana, Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois! The mission of the American Guild of Organists is to foster a thriving community of musicians who share their knowledge and inspire passion for the organ. The Evansville Chapter provides and supports organ-related programs and events for all ages in the Tri-State area, including our sponsorship of Pipedreams on WKU radio.

Every year the Evansville Chapter provides a "Pedals, Pipes & Pizza" event introducing the organ to children and youth. Our next one will be on Saturday morning March 8, 2025 at the University of Evansville, with pizza for lunch. Contact us at our email address below for more information and to register.

The Evansville Chapter offers scholarships to encourage young students interested in organ lessons. Typically, the student will have had some years of previous keyboard study, and the scholarship subsidizes half of an organ teacher’s fee. Please email us at evansvilleago@yahoo.com for more information.

Pipe Organ Encounters are summer events at various locations around the country that offer teenagers a rewarding week of learning more about the pipe organ and its construction, instruction with experienced faculty, visits to hear and play outstanding instruments, and the chance to meet and interact with peers who share an interest in the organ. The Pipe Organ Encounter-Plus is a similar experience for adults offered some years.  Click here to watch a FB reel about the POE experience.  You can also click here for more information.
