The Bristol & District Organists’ Association is a group of about 150 enthusiasts from the Bristol area who share an interest in the organ and its music, and wish to share that enjoyment with others.
There are no restrictions on membership: we welcome all who are interested in the organ and its music, whether as organists – at all levels – or as listeners.
The BDOA is affiliated to the Incorporated Association of Organists,, and we aim to promote the organ as an instrument of practical and versatile music making in church, chapel or concert hall.
