Membership benefits
The object of the Association is to advance the education of the public in the art of music with special reference to liturgical and organ music.
We hold lecture/recital and masterclasses, and arrange visits to churches and organs within striking distance of Salisbury, record evenings and social events. We also endeavour to support young organists.
The SDOA is affiliated to the Incorporated Association of Organists. This enables SDOA members to participate in all IAO activities and entitles them to all the benefits and services provided by the IAO. SDOA members can subscribe at a reduced rate to the IAO magazine Organists' Review.
President
The President of the Association is David Halls, Director of Music at Salisbury Cathedral.
