2022 Presidents’ Day Conference
February 21, 2022
The NYCAGO Presidents’ Day Conference returns in-person this year for what promises to be a wonderful day of music making. Entitled “New York Central”, the day will focus on composers, improvisors, and performers associated with the Big Apple.
The registration table will open at 9:30 AM. (There is no pre-registration.) The Conference’s events are free for NYCAGO Chapter and dual members. The general public is most welcome and all-day tickets may be purchased the day-of for $40. Public tickets for those attending only the 3:30 PM recital are $20.
Both churches require proof of vaccination for all attendees and masks must be worn while inside.
