The Atlanta Chapter AGO is pleased to announce the establishment of The Taylor Organ Competition, the first competition to take place on Saturday, April 21, 2012, and every three years thereafter. In October 2006 the Atlanta Chapter received a $300,000 bequest from the estate of Elizabeth Abbott Taylor, a long time member of the Atlanta Chapter. The Endowment Committee, Bobby Mays, Chair, invested the Taylor Memorial Scholarship Fund in a separate account to be used as Mrs. Taylor desired, for scholarships for young organ students.
The public is invited to this free event.
