About the Auckland Organists' Association

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

The Auckland Organists’ Association Inc. (AOA) is the largest such association in New Zealand at the present time. It covers a substantial geographical area and its membership represents the regional diversity that reflects the Auckland region itself.

The Association has a strong management team which aims to provide monthly or bi-monthly events. These include public recitals (concession rates for members), master classes, workshops, lectures on organ building, church music and associated topics, visits to pipe and digital organs of local interest, as well as pipe organs of historical significance. The membership also enjoys the fellowship of social functions. Student membership and involvement is also a hall mark of the AOA.

The Association has key relationships with other organisations such as the Auckland Town Hall Organ Trust, with whom the AOA jointly put on the Auckland Organ Discovery Day in 2011, and the AOA was the first organisation to contribute to the fundraising campaign for the organ restoration project (completed 2010);  the RSCM; and close links with the churches who open their doors and organ consoles to our community.
