WELCOME TO SDAGO!
We are a gathering of people who enjoy the organ as a musical instrument in all the ways it inhabits our lives and the wonderful music that it makes. We gather to listen, to learn, to share and encourage each other. We are organists and non-organists and everything in between.
We are a chapter of The American Guild of Organists, a national organization that provides us resources, support, and connection with others who share our passion for “the king of instruments.”
Our mission is to bring the excitement and inspiration of the organ and its music to children and adults through events of education, entertainment and discovery.

May Chapter Event...
It's Not a Mystery Anymore!
Join us as we finish a great season with a marvelous meal, music and fellowship. We’ll begin at 6:00 p.m. with appetizers in FCC’s Sacred Grounds where we can socialize a bit and see the work of local artist Rodger Ellingson.
Then we’ll “progress” (or is that process?) to Fick Hall for a buffet dinner. After dinner, we’ll move into the Sanctuary for some organ music and information on the FCC organ. There will be some time for an “open bench” so bring short tune to play and your organ shoes! After the music, we’ll return to Fick Hall for dessert and coffee. There will be a$5 charge per person that can be paid the night of the dinner.
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED!
