The Piedmont NC Chapter of the American Guild of Organists hopes you will join us to learn, grow professional skills, socialize/network with fellow church musicians, enjoy a fabulous hymn festival, and more!
We all live busy lives, so this symposium is brief but brimming with exciting opportunities. Friday night's events will take place at West Market Street United Methodist Church in Greensboro, while Saturday's workshops will be hosted at Salem College in Winston-Salem.
On Friday night, our keynote presenter and performer, the concert organist, composer, and conductor Tom Trenney, will present a sure-to-be wonderful hymn festival on the Dobson-Rosales Organ at West Market Street United Methodist
Church in Greensboro, NC. The next day, he'll lead a workshop on improvisation using hymn tunes and will share his perspective and journey as a composer and arranger at Salem College in
Winston-Salem, NC. We are beyond excited to bring this talented musician to our Chapter and to have a chance to grow our skills in hymn-playing and improvisation as well.
We are passionate about professional development and are thrilled to offer a variety of workshops that we hope will aid organists in their careers, no matter if they are just beginning in the field, are experienced and degreed, or are retired or semi-retired. In addition to Tom Trenney's two workshops, participants will be able to choose courses in Working with Aging Voices, Getting an Organ Building Project Off the Ground, Improvisation, Registration at the “Wrong” Organ, A Music Publisher’s Perspective.
