Surrey Organists’ Association

Who are We?

The Surrey Organists’ Association was founded in 1928 and is one of many similar local organisations across the UK, who welcome all those with an interest in the organ, whether or not they play the instrument themselves.  We have an annual programme consisting of visits to organs, both near to us and further afield, a members’ recital, lectures and master-classes and a dinner.  Many of our members are church organists and our programme includes an annual service, usually but not always taking the form of Choral Evensong; however, the Association is not connected with any denomination and welcomes members of any faith and none.

Our membership is drawn mainly from those living in the west of the county, Guildford being our ‘centre of gravity’.

The Association is affiliated to the Incorporated Association of Organists (IAO) which gives members access to the services and activities of the IAO, including a reduced rate subscription to their excellent quarterly magazine Organists’ Review.

Our programme is arranged by the president for the year, supported by the Association’s officers and committee.  The current president’s contact information can be found on our Current and Future Events page. The principal point of contact is our Secretary, see following paragraph.
