Your convention registration includes admission and transportation to all events, three meals and a ticket to the Hector Olivera recital. The program includes venues to some of the best locations in the Harrisburg / Hershey / Camp Hill / Carlisle areas. Please mark your calendars to attend.
Throughout the convention planning there has been a special focus on young organists who are “the future of AGO”. The goals of the Harrisburg convention are centered on providing an affordable convention with opportunities for the musicians of our future to expand their knowledge and appreciation of the AGO, and to support networking among all musicians who attend our convention. With special emphasis on young organists, the Program Committee has included a recital by the “Stars of the Future”. These young recitalists are from three great conservatories in our Region III area, Curtis, Peabody & Westminster Choir College. There will be a recital by the winner of the Quimby Regional Competition. Also included in the program will be a prelude given by the second place Quimby Competition winner. There is a special student registration rate of $100.00. Please encourage your young organists to come to the convention.
Volunteers will be needed. Contact Judy Schrack at jnschrack@aol.com or Ruth Brommer at chan2s3@verizon.net.
