Welcome from the Dean Welcome to the largest AGO Chapter in Connecticut! The Greater Hartford Chapter is about to start a new and exciting season of programs for organists and lovers of organ music. All are welcome to attend any of our programs. The annual Pipescreams Concert in late October is a favorite of the chapter and the public. The concert features volunteer performers from our chapter. The players and the audience attended dressed in costumes for this light-spirited event. October also features a Hymn Festival including a presentation by Dr. Thomas Troeger, a Professor of Christian Communication at Yale University. Bring your choir members and participate in the festival choirs concerts!
Many other exciting events are planned for the upcoming program year including a trip to Radio City Music Hall in New York, including a side trip to hear and play the Mander Organ at St. Ignatius Loyola Church. In January a fine education program is planned focusing on chorale preludes by organist and composer, Robert Fertitta. February brings a factory tour of Austin Organs in Hartford and April features a joint program with South Church in New Britain for a concert by Cherry Rhodes. The year winds up with our annual meeting and picnic. To become a member of this outstanding chapter or to
