About BAO

The Bournemouth and District Association of Organists has been in existence since 1947 (possibly earlier).

Areas covered by the Association are generally within the south-east Dorset area of Bournemouth, and the south-west corner of Hampshire, including The New Forest.

Included in its objectives are "to advance the education of the public in the study of the art of music with special reference to liturgical and organ music".

A meeting is held on most months during the year, ranging from arranged talks, visits to local organs, an annual full day outing to a major venue and an Annual Dinner.

In 2003 the BAO became a Registered Charity.

Members receive a Newsletter published about four times a year, giving news of events and matters of local interest.
