For all members of the former Berkshire and Springfield chapters of the AGO — our chapter will host a meet-and-greet on Zoom so no one has to travel. Help us build community and in addition enjoy Noah Horn's lively presentation on supporting choral singing, a fun activity related to the instrument we all love, and some time for small groups so we get to know one another better.

Think of a piece of music you can perform at the drop of a hat. How long have you been playing it, and how much work have you put into it? Now imagine if you could perform NEW repertoire with the same level of confidence, security, and expression. EFFICIENT PRACTICE is the key to unlocking this potential.
Join us with The Well-Practiced Musician Christopher Prestia to learn how to optimize your practice habits so your new music can feel like old standards in less time than ever.

A fire in his home destroyed the majority of the musical compositions by Marcel Lanquetuit, principal organist of the Rouen Cathedral and Knight of the Legion of Honor. But his grand and inspiring Toccata in D major survived and will be performed at this concert on the E. M. Skinner Opus 179 organ by Klaus Becker, organist and music director at St. Mary’s in Longmeadow — and former dean of our chapter. Director of music at Italy’s Como Cathedral, Enrico Bossi is best remembered for his organ compositions, among them the magical and mysterious Scherzo in g minor, which will also be featured at this concert. In addition, works by Bach, Vierne, Gigout, and Jongen will be performed. This will be a memorable afternoon, well worth attending!
