AGO Philadelphia Chapter
Substitute Organists
This list is published as a courtesy to the chapter membership. Although the AGO assumes no responsibility for the musicianship or reliability of substitute organists, Guild certificates and other degree programs indicate preparation beyond the minimum.
The codes preceding each name have the following meanings: S = available to play on a Sunday,
O = available to play other services such as weddings/funerals/weekdays, C = will also direct a choir
Please note: This list includes only current members of the Philadelphia Chapter. To be included on this list, please be sure your membership is current and forward your information to Tom Lever at 215-855-0287 or webmaster@agophila.org.
Positions Available for houses of worship in the Greater Philadelphia area may be sent to AGOPlacement@agophila.org. We are happy to advertise these as a free service. Ads will remain posted for three months unless we are notified otherwise. We need to request that all ads stay within a 250 word limit – applicants should be directed to the church for further information. We would also be very grateful if churches encourage their organists to join our chapter – and many include dues payment as a contract perk!
