POE+ for adults

From May 18-23, the Tri-State Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will be hosting a Pipe Organ Encounter+, a special week for adults wishing to improve their skills at the organ. This is a great opportunity for adult organists to get away, spend time in a beautiful setting, and focus on musical skills with expert instruction on beautiful instruments. Please help spread the word!

Two tracks of instruction will be offered—one for beginners, and one for more experienced players. (The only prerequisite is moderate keyboard facility.) The week, hosted on the beautiful campus of Colorado State University, will consist of daily individual lessons, group classes, organ crawls, and recitals on instruments throughout Fort Collins.

This course will feature local and national performers and clinicians, including: Joel Bacon (Chair of Organ and Liturgical Studies, CSU), Carole Terry (U. of Washington), Ronald Ebrecht (Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT), Denise Lanning (First United Methodist Church, Boulder), Steven Morris (Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit, Houston, TX), and Tamara Schmiege (St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Fort Collins).
