AGO OrganFest 2020 is July 20-24, 2020! The nightly musical offerings and the festival website are a gift to you and available to all at no charge; no registration or membership is needed. Each evening’s program will be archived on the festival website so you can return and enjoy this beautiful music as often as you’d like.
The highlight of each day will be the world-premiere of a new organ work that had been commissioned for the AGO National Convention in Atlanta. Each performance will be preceded by a conversation between Chelsea Chen and the featured composer.
