Kent County Organists’ Association

The Kent County Organists’ Association (KCOA) is affiliated to the Incorporated Association of Organists (IAO) and consists of almost 100 members. The object of the Association is to promote the friendly interchange of ideas on all matters of interest to organists and choir directors. With the exception of August and January, monthly meetings are held on Saturdays and mostly take the form of visits to places of interest (with their organs) in various parts of the county and sometimes further afield; there are also talks, recitals, workshops and a biennial competition for young performers. The Association welcomes new members with an interest in the organ and its music, also those who enjoy visiting churches with appreciation of architecture and heritage. Membership of the Association is not based on the ability to play; we welcome equally those who enjoy listening as well as those who enjoy playing. secretary@kcoa.org.uk
