The American Guild of Organists. Who are we?

The purpose of the American Guild of Organists is to promote the organ in its historic and evolving roles, to encourage excellence in the performance of organ and choral music, and to provide a forum for mutual support,

inspiration, education, and certification of Guild members.

The Sioux Trails chapter of the American Guild of Organists has been organized since 1980, serving members in the region surrounding Mankato, New Ulm and Saint Peter, Minnesota. This region hosts a wealth of organs in various churches and is also home to three colleges (Bethany Lutheran College, Martin Luther College, and Gustavus Adolphus College) and one University (Minnesota State University, Mankato) which have strong student organ programs. In addition, several pipe organ builders call this region home. The Sioux Trails chapter strives to bring all the talent and interest spread throughout a fairly large geographic area together for education, community, enjoyment, and outreach. In addition to our regularly scheduled events, which might vary from concerts, workshops, or potluck dinners, our chapter proudly sponsors this weekly Summer Noontime Recital Series that features chap-ter members and friends at the console of a featured organ. In 2011, we presented 10 recitals on the Hendrickson organ at Grace Lutheran Church in Mankato and the Holtkamp organ at Bethlehem Lu-theran Church in Mankato, with an average audience of 75.

For more information about our chapter, please visit our website: www.agosiouxtrails.org
