WorcAGO maintains a database of its members willing to substitute or play for weddings and funerals. This “substitute list” contains information which has been self-identified by those who have chosen to be included in this roster.  For both convenience as well as security reasons, in actuality we provide musician information only as the result of an online search that you perform using the form below. If you are seeking a substitute, you may contact the substitute for more specific information, such as education, experience, denominational familiarity, and recent substitute engagements.

This searchable database serves as a referral service only, makes no warranty for skills offered, and is not a legal party to any agreement made between a substitute and anyone contracting for his or her services.  Those seeking musicians should contact them directly to make their own arrangements.
