American Guild of Organists

Boston Chapter

SEPTEMBER 28, 2026: A suspicious email requesting that money be sent to the Dean was sent to many members today. This was a phishing email sent from an address that does not belong to any of our officers. Please do not respond to this email. BAGO officers will never request donations be sent to an individual. We may ask for donations for Chapter events and programs, but those requests will give specific instructions for online donations or checks payable to the Chapter.

Welcome!

The Boston Chapter of the American Guild of Organists (BAGO) is a collegial community of individuals who share a deep passion for and admiration of the organ and its literature.

Our programs, events, and services will benefit, educate, and enthrall a variety of constituents. Various types of memberships are available. Explore our website to learn more.

Whether you are an organist, a pianist learning to play the instrument, a young organ student or an emerging artist, a devotee of the instrument, a staff member of a church or synagogue, a choral conductor, a singer, an instrumentalist, or an organ company owner/employee, we welcome you!

Historique II Allen Organ for Sale

This Historique II Allen organ with premium wood keyboards is for sale. It has not been used much, and would be a great home practice instrument or be appropriate for a small church. The seller is asking for $15,000. The current location is in Western Massachusetts and the purchaser will be responsible for transporting it. Email israel.laurie@gmail.com or text (617) 719-8312.
