Chapter Events

First Church Boston, Unitarian Universalist
Casavant Fréres, Opus 3140, 1972

Chapter events are planned by the chapter’s program committee, led by the sub-dean. All offerings are open to chapter members and friends, usually at no cost.

We encourage you to attend to find inspiration, share your knowledge, learn something new, celebrate the organ and its literature, support emerging organists and your colleagues, and enjoy the camaraderie and friendships that develop.

Details can be found here and also are published in the electronic newsletter Pipings, which is periodically sent to chapter members and friends.
