A Message from Alan Thurlow, Our President
As President of the IAO, it gives me very great pleasure to welcome you to this the Home Page of our IAO Website and to invite you all, music lovers and organists alike, to join me and other members of the IAO for some of our events in 2010.
We have already had London Organ Day and the Wonders of Victorian Organ. Daniel Moult and his team did a brilliant job. There was an excellent attendance and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves immensely going on their way inspired by Gordon Stewart, Nicholas Thistlethwaite, Andrew Dewar, Dan Moult and others. For me, this is what its all about. Music, education and enjoyment in the company of like-minded friends. And, the good news is that, whilst you will find it cheaper, you dont have to be a member of the IAO to join us for these exciting and entertaining events.
With our new Congress Organiser, Helen Devereux Murray, we are now working hard to complete all the final details on our 2010 Brighton Congress. Day ticket bookings have just been released and, if you cant come for the whole week, I warmly commend the day ticket option to you. We have a great line-up of organs and organists. We have just heard that Simon Preston will be able to play for us and I know that you wont be disappointed.
I continue to be inspired by the dedication, energy and enthusiasm of the IAO and its members. I have recently initiated a series of Regional Forums, touring round the country and meeting our members and officers. I greatly look forward to working with many of you in furthering the cause of the organ and its music during the rest of my Presidency and wish you courage and good fortune in all your endeavours.
