A warm welcome to our Association

Whether you love listening to this fabulous instrument or enjoy playing it, we welcome you to join us, the Suffolk Organists' Association. Each year we publish a Journal. We offer opportunities to visit churches throughout the county and further afield, recitals and lectures.

We offer bursaries and professional advice to those of any age who would like to advance their abilities with the instrument. Please note that those who wish to apply for funding for the next academic year should do so in good time during the summer.

Your Association reached its 90th Anniversary on 10 February in 2025.

This is a milestone which would have thrilled the founder members. All members past and present can be most proud of this achievement. The Suffok Organists' Association is a co-member of Ipswich Arts Association (IAA). On their site you can see all the other organisations that belong and you will find that ours is one of a few organisations which can claim such longevity.
