Organ Institute and Young Organists Week
Through the organ institutes, Concordia provides enrichment opportunities
for church organists. These two-day workshops are scheduled in host
communities in Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota each summer.
Many congregations pay the cost for their organist to attend as
an excellent means of encouraging and appreciating the organist's
service. The Young Organists Week, held on campus, teaches developing
organists the important fundamentals of leading worship. Congregations
have found the week useful for encouraging new organists. (See workshops
for more details.)
