The AGO Regional Competitions for Young Organists are held in odd-numbered years, in two separate stages. An initial competition (2019) is held at the local level by an AGO chapter. Each chapter winner will advance to a regional competition, where a regional winner will be awarded. The competition cycle culminates in 2020 when the 7 regional competition winners – now AGO Rising Stars – perform at the Rising Star recitals at the AGO National Convention in Atlanta, Georgia.
The AGO/Quimby Regional Competitions for Young Organists are made possible by a generous grant from Michael Quimby, President, Quimby Pipe Organs, Inc.
