STUDENT EVENTS

The Ottawa Centre is presenting some exciting new events for organ students this year.

As many of you will know, the centre hosts a concert series each year called Pro Organo, with concerts being played on some of the best organs in Ottawa. This year, we would like to give students the opportunity to play these instruments as well.

On four Saturdays through the year, we will be holding an event where young organ students of all levels can have an opportunity to be introduced to the instrument being used in an upcoming Pro Organo concert. The host organist at each church will give a short introduction to the history of that particular organ, before holding a series of short lessons for the students present.

These events are free of charge, and are presented as an opportunity for organ students in the city to learn more about the wonderful organs that we have in Ottawa. It is also a chance for students to meet each other and form a network of organ enthusiasts!

Information on the next event will be posted shortly.

If you are interested in participating in this event, please e-mail Shawn Potter so that we will know to expect you. Students should bring their organ shoes and some music that they would like to play. We are looking forward very much to meeting many of you in the coming weeks!
