me to make music on your exquisite instru-
ment at St. John’s in Canton! This is a truly
remarkable, sensitive, even poetic instru-
ment - one that at no time was not a com-
plete joy to get to know! Congratulations!”

welcome !
greetings from ray, eileen, james, and mark
Dear friends,
a warm and hearty welcome to Boston for the fifty-second biennial National
Convention of the American Guild of Organists!
This week you will hear both new and landmark instruments, not only in this historic
city but also in Cambridge, Wellesley, Methuen, and Groton. You will experience music-
making in varied worshipping traditions and enjoy the area’s rich choral tradition. We
are delighted to share practical insights and scholarly wisdom through an unprecedented
number of workshops. It is an honor to share this rich legacy of great music and learning.
We thank the Boston Steering Committee members for their creative and tireless
work. In particular, we applaud their initiatives in creating the opportunity to present
scholarly papers, as well as other major innovations and outreach to the local community,
such as Family Day, Youth Day, and the Convention Fellows program.
We extend our deep appreciation to the sponsors and benefactors of this convention—
the generous individuals, companies, AGO chapters, foundations, and other organizations—
who are underwriting performances, new music, workshops, and competitions; advertising
in our program book; and exhibiting in our trade show, the largest in our profession.
Conventions are like gigantic reunions: they provide rare opportunities to gather,
share, and celebrate with colleagues; to inspire and support others while reinvigorating
ourselves; to plan and strategize, all while enjoying great workshops, inspiring worship
services, and brilliant performances. We are so very glad you are here.
With our best wishes for a memorable week together,
Ray Cornils James E. Thomashower
