The Wiltshire & Bath Organists’ Association was founded in 1915 to help and assist Organists and Choir Directors and to offer advice to performers, teachers, students, clergy and members of the public.

The Association is a friendly group of people, both performers and listeners who are interested in the organ and its music and the world of choral music.

Each year we have a varied programme of events, which include lectures and workshops on many aspects of organ and choral music, recitals, visits to interesting organs and social events.

The Association publishes a regular 'Newsletter' to keep members in touch with Association matters, recitals, concerts and relevant job vacancies.

The WBOA is affiliated to the Incorporated Association of Organists.

The Hon. Secretary is always willing to answer any enquiries about the Association. Click to email the Hon. Secretary
