Summer Organ Academy at UNT

June 28 - July 2, 2025

About the Academy

You are invited to take part in an exciting, week-long organ academy centered at the University of North Texas. Daily lessons and workshops will focus on repertoire, improvisation, and liturgical playing and skills using the university’s impressive instruments. In addition, students will be introduced to the harpsichord and accompaniment using figured bass, and the academy will make two excursions to Dallas to see a collection of some of the city’s most impressive instruments including the Richards, Fowkes and Co. organ at The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, the Juget-Sinclair organ at Christ the King Catholic Church, and the C.B. Fisk organ at the Meyerson Symphony Center. Students at high school and undergraduate level are encouraged to register to be instructed by leading performers and clinicians. The academy will conclude with participants’ recital in UNT’s Winspear Performance Hall.
