The American Guild of Organists (AGO) is the national professional association serving the organ and choral music fields. The Guild serves approximately 20,000 members throughout the United States, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Founded in 1896 as both an educational and service organization, the Guild, headquartered in New York City, seeks to set and maintain high musical standards and to promote the understanding and appreciation of all aspects of organ and choral music. In any given year, a chapter may host concerts, educational events and social gatherings, have regular monthly meetings, and participate in either a regional or a national convention.
The Cleveland chapter of the American Guild of Organists was established in 1914 and is active in and around the Cleveland area. The chapter publishes its own newsletter, and participates in workshops and programs sponsored by the American Guild of Organists.
