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 publishes a quarterly Newsletter,
as well as being part of the Journal 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, on all types of new organs.
