Dean’s Welcome

Welcome to the Sacramento Valley Chapter Web site!

We are a growing and vibrant organization of organists that promote the organ, provide a home for organ enthusiasts, and who support each other as colleagues.

On our web site you can:

*Join our Chapter of the American Guild of Organists

*Become a friend of our chapter and the organ

*Watch our concerts and participate in workshops – even viewing past workshops

*Learn about our Scholarship Program for budding organists

*Support our chapter and programs through PayPal and Stripe

We hope you are staying well and thriving in music making. Our board is excited to continue the journey with you, striving to create programming and fellowship that will enrich all our lives and work. Please do reach out to us with your ideas and interesting materials. We are trying a new email-based newsletter format, which should allow easy sharing of links, events, videos, etc. We would love your contributions for upcoming months. Please do make your submissions by the 25th of each month to allow consideration for inclusion. We are happy to list organ and sacred choral events at any venues in our chapter area. If you have an interesting article or website resource that might benefit your colleagues, send the info along! Send us write-ups about interesting events or recordings and publications you enjoy. We encourage you to look for new repertoire ideas and push your horizons. We also would like to boost the sub list, so let us know about any folks who service playing skills and Sunday morning availability. Lastly, please do promote our generous organ scholarship program. There is so much going on, and there are so many possibilities if we pool our ideas, resources, and skills. Thanks for your contributions!

Your colleagues,

Dr. Lars Gjerde, DMA
