YOUNG ORGANIST EVENTS

PEDALS, PIPES, & PIZZA!

JOIN THE FOX VALLEY AGO FOR A SPECIAL EVENT IN DOWNERS GROVE

The Pedals, Pipes, & Pizza event will be held at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 4501 Main Street in Downers Grove, Illinois on Saturday, February 19, 2024 from 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM.

The Fox Valley Chapter of the American Guild of Organists is presenting a program to introduce young people to the organ, called Pedals, Pipes, & Pizza.  We will explain and demonstrate the pipe organ. The students will see the inside of an organ, and get to play a piano piece on it. The principal purpose of the day is to help students learn about the pipe organ and how it functions. We are not primarily interested in recruiting students for immediate organ study. If there happen to be students who would like to start organ study, and who are advanced enough in their piano study to start lessons on the organ, we would strongly recommend that they continue piano study while studying the organ.

PLEASE NOTE: All students under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the entire event. The parent or legal guardian must also agree to allow permission of photographs to be taken during the event.  A “poster” is available for this event.
