Calendar of Events

Updated 12 May 2012

AGO Calendar

The AGO Calendar lists many musical events including organ recitals, choral concerts, chamber music and other concerts, festival services, workshops, even silent films with organ accompaniment, in the Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Orange County areas. Most of these events are open to the public, and many are free of charge. Events sponsored or cosponsored by the American Guild of Organists or its local chapters are marked [AGO].

While the current month's calendar is included with chapter newsletters, this online edition includes all future events that have been submitted, and contains active links to websites. The online AGO Calendar is updated around the beginning and middle of each month with new listings and changes, so please check regularly.

Listings are subject to change; for the most current information about an event, check with the sponsoring organization.

Guidelines for Calendar Listings

Calendar items from members of the Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Orange County AGO chapters should be sent to the calendar editor, Vincent Verga. For the newsletter calendar, deadline is the 15th of the month preceding the event month. However, since there are months when we may not publish a newsletter and calendar, it is best to submit listings as early as possible, so they can be included in an earlier issue. The online calendar is updated around the beginning and middle of each month.

Please include:

Date and time
Performer, or group and conductor
Event title, or major work or composers
Venue, street address, city, ZIP code
Website and/or telephone number for more information
Admission policy (one of the following):
    Ticket price or suggested donation amount, or
    Freewill offering, or
    Free

Listings are placed in the calendar at the editor's discretion, and are edited for format and style. Because of space limitations, we normally do NOT include the following, which you might wish to promote on your website:

Parking information
Reception information
Series ticket information
Organ information, except for the inaugural recital of a new or renovated instrument
Programs taking place outside the calendar's coverage area
Programs that would not be of interest to AGO members or that would appeal mainly to your own congregation

Remember to notify us of any changes for events previously submitted.

The AGO Calendar is a proprietary production of the Los Angeles Chapter, American Guild of Organists and is supplied to participating AGO chapters at no cost.
