ABOUT THE ORGAN SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND
 

The Organ Society of Queensland was founded by organ music enthusiasts in 1952.

The Society aims to provide an avenue for discussion of matters of mutual interest and to promote an appreciation of organ music and organs in the community

Membership is open to all who are interested in furthering this aim - organists and listeners alike.

Activities of the OSQ include organ concerts; talks and workshops on organs, organ music, performance of organ music in various contexts (church music, concerts, etc), organ building, and other related topics; organ rambles i.e. inspection visits to organs in various localities, plus CD and video functions.

The Society published a quarterly journal, The Organ Voice, which from September 2005,is replaced by Organ Australia.

The Journal contains interesting articles on topics relating to organ music and the organ as an instrument, and publicizes organ and societal events for the coming months.

The OSQ also conducts organ tutorials for groups of church organists in local churches, tailoring sessions to the interests and needs of the participants. An organ consultancy service is also offered by the OSQ to assist local churches in matters relating to organ repairs, rebuilds, and new instruments (pipe and electronic)
