The Evansville AGO has members from around the Tri-State--offering concerts, workshops for all ages, scholarships and more--sharing knowledge about, and inspiring passion for, the organ.
We are proud to be a sponsor of Pipedreams on WKU radio, a weekly radio program featuring great organ music! It is broadcast on WKU Sunday evenings at 8 Central/9 Eastern and available on the Pipedreams website.
Pedals, Pipes & Pizza is a fun, hand-on musical learning experience for children and youth, providing the opportunity to help assemble a miniature pipe organ and play some real pipe organs! Piano students are invited to bring some of their piano music and try it out on the organs. If you would like information about a future Pedals, Pipes & Pizza event you may email us at our address below. Click here to see a Facebook post about a previous year's Pedals, Pipes & Pizza.
The public is invited to join the Evansville Chapter for its annual May program, which this year will feature performances by local organists on four pipe organs at First Presbyterian Church in historic downtown Evansville. The program begins at 6pm Central Time on Monday, May 4, 2026, and there is no admission charge. May the force of these wonderful instruments be with you!
The Evansville Chapter offers scholarships to encourage young students interested in organ lessons. Typically, the student will have had some previous keyboard study, and the scholarship would subsidize half of an organ teacher’s fee. Please email us at evansvilleago@yahoo.com for more information.
Pipe Organ Encounters are summer AGO events at several locations around the country that offer teenagers a rewarding week of learning about the pipe organ and its construction, lessons on the organ, 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. You can contact your nearest AGO chapter for possible financial assistance to attend a POE.
