It is with great pleasure that I announce the inaugural year of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts/Salem College/Winston-Salem, NC Chapter AGO High School Organ Competition. This competition is open to any high school senior or younger. Attached is the application and rules document. I ask that you please forward this to your chapter's members and to any other organ teacher or student that may have an interest in the competition.

We are excited to offer this opportunity to young organists to perform, get acquainted with other students with their interests, and to experience a wonderful weekend of activities including a recital by Salem College keyboard faculty and students, a workshop by world-renowned keyboard technique pedagogue, Barbara Lister-Sink ( http://pianoandorgantechnique.com/ ), and Alexander Technique teacher, Susan Perkins. I am also offering a master class and private lessons ( www.timothyolsenorganist.com ).

Several organs will be featured including the newly renovated V/97 Grooms & Payne organ at First Baptist Church (Winston-Salem), the Flentrop organ at Salem College ( http://www.flentrop.nl/orgelbouw/winsto_nort_coll.html ), and the Fisk organ at UNCSA ( http://www.cbfisk.com/instrumentFiles/75/075_Stoplist.pdf ).

We are grateful to the sponsors of the generous cash prizes, and to the institutions that are co-sponsoring the competition, University of North Carolina School of the Arts and Salem College.
