Welcome to the new website of the YDOA!

We are the main body for all those who have an interest in the organ and its music in the York area.

Our membership represents both players and non players . Many members just enjoy listening to organ music, and playing members vary from beginners to more experienced organists.

The Association organises a wide range of events, including recitals, visits to instruments of all types, demonstrations, seminars, master classes and social events.

The Association is also involved in the ‘Pipe Burst’ educational initiative.

Members of the Association receive a monthly newsletter, namely the PipeLine, which contains information about events and other articles of both local and general interest.

The Association is affiliated to the Incorporated Association of Organists, which enables our members to benefit from IAO activities and services.

Members can also subscribe to the Organists’ Review, a popular magazine, at a greatly reduced rate.
