 The POE Steering Committee is pleased to announce the dates for the 2010 St. Louis POE. We will host young organists from around the country here from June 13-18. Housing for the students will be at Fontbonne University in St. Louis. Guest faculty include:

 

Marie Rubis Bauer, Omaha, Nebraska

Michael Bauer, University of Kansas

Douglas Cleveland, University of Washington

Carla Edwards, DePauw University

Wilma Jensen, Concert Organist

Christopher Marks, University of Nebraska Lincoln  

 

The backbone of the POE is daily private lessons for each student with a teacher. In addition to a daily lesson, each student will receive practice time. The week also features organ recitals (open to the public and our chapter members), an organ building session, workshop with faculty, an organ crawl, and a recreational event. The week will conclude on Friday morning with a student recital.
