We are a group of about 150 people from the Bristol area who like to share our enjoyment of the organ and its music.
There are no restrictions on membership: it is not necessary to be an organist, as we welcome all who are interested in the organ and its music, whether as players (all levels) or as listeners.
Affiliated to the Incorporated Association of Organists, We aim to promote the organ as an instrument of practical and versatile music making in church, chapel or concert hall.
Welcome from our President
Greetings to all B&DOA Members,
To be elected as President during 2019/ 20 was a surprise – almost a ‘why me?’ reaction, as I felt that nothing I could offer would match the abilities and achievements of my predecessors. I am honoured to have been asked and during my year of office will do all I can to promote and sustain interest in the organ.
Upcoming Events
We have a full calendar of organ and music related events, predominately in the Bristol area. Even during the current COVID-19 crisis, we are still getting together online.
Video of the Month
