NEWSLETTER: FEB 2011
| The Association, founded in 1955,
primarily exists to enable members to share their common
interest in the organ and its music, together with the
associated choral tradition.
The Association is affiliated to the Incorporated Association of Organists, a national federation of similar societies, which publishes an excellent quarterly magazine - The Organists' Review - which our members receive within the amount of their subscription. Also the IAO promotes and organises an annual Conference and training activities, usually in a university and/or cathedral town or city, in Manchester in 2000, and supports regional events. DDOCA membership is open to all who are interested, on payment of the appropriate annual subscription. We include among our members professional and amateur musicians of a wide range of interest in and expertise at the organ, students, and non-instrumentalists - as individuals or as a family. New members are always very welcome. An elected committee and officers arranges a varied programme of meetings meetings, recitals, concerts, talks, visits and/or social occasions held monthly September to June in the Darlington and south Durham area and sometimes beyond, normally on a Sat.evening. All, including non-members, are most welcome at these events. For further details of membership, or about the
Programme that follows, or indeed for any other
information, please contact
the Secretary (address above). |

For the Diocesan Organists' Training Scheme see <http://www.durhamliturgy.org.uk/> - information about the Scheme and an Application Form appears towards the bottom of the page, and/or contact James Randle [St Chad's College]. There is also an organ pathway through the RSCM's new 'Church Music Skills' programme [http://www.rscm.com/education/skills.php] though it's rather more expensive.
Occasional workshops are arranged by the Newcastle & District Society of Organists and other organisations, as part of a drive to promote and further excellence, awareness and enjoyment in organ playing throughout the region.
