Sydney Organs
Our mission is to showcase Sydney's organs and those who play them.
Sydney and its suburbs have a rich heritage of pipe organs. Most are relatively small instruments, built for small churches. Many are well-built with solid tonal qualities but are rarely heard by the general public.
This channel is intended as a vehicle for making such instruments - and the people who play them - better-known. We are seeking to record as many organs as we can. Currently our principal focus is on the Greater Sydney area, but we also wish to record organs in other parts of New South Wales. Our aim is to present competent performances in good quality video and audio.
We hope that this channel will both encourage interest in the organ and play a part in bringing together people interested in the instrument.
