Recitals and lectures are centered in Worcester and open to all.

 

Held in Worcester, Massachusetts, the balance of lectures and recitals over the weekend of November 3-5, 2023 will provide a variety of events to choose from.  Please visit the website at Reger Festival 150  for more information and/or contact either Ronna Davis (dean@worcesterago.org) or Marjorie Ness, Sub-Dean (subdean@worcesterago.org) if you have questions.
