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
