02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Stirling and District Society of Organists is a group for organists and organ music enthusiasts in the Stirling region. We offer a programme of events each year with a monthly meeting from October to June giving opportunities to play different organs, learn from experts and attend recitals. Membership is open to anyone interested in discovering more about the organ and we particularly encourage students to join us. Our society is one of a number of regional societies for organists in Scotland and we are affiliated with the Scottish Federation of Organists and the Incorporated Association of Organists. The society was founded in 1939 by organist Dr William Baird Ross.
