About us

We foster a thriving community of musicians and music enthusiasts, sharing knowledge and inspiring passion for this amazing instrument – THE ORGAN!

We want everyone to be entertained by music which includes the organ and its amazing capabilities.

We believe the organ is an orchestra at your fingertips.

Play

We arrange access to organs in a variety of settings in the UK and abroad.

Everyone can have a play to discover new sounds. 

We often find ourselves in fascinating buildings with much to explore.

Sometimes these sessions are closed to the public so we can give them a proper workout!

Share

At the other end of the scale we arrange small gatherings, sometimes in people’s homes, where members share their musical ideas and challenges with friends and colleagues.

Support

We have a bursary fund initiated by past members Geoff Spiers and Peter and Elma Turner.

It  helps  organ students by providing music, lessons and attendance at educational events.

Participate

Our aim is to work with local musicians, instrumentalists and singers locally to include the organ in music making.

Founded in 1966 to advance the education, appreciation and understanding of the organ as an instrument, we are now striving to embrace music in all its forms with the organ at the core.
