The Play the Organ Year campaign aims to create as many opportunities as possible for people to not just hear, but also play, an organ for the first time.
Organists and venues are being encouraged to plan First Encounter organ recitals throughout 2025, including specially designed Play the Organ sessions for newcomers wherever possible.
In addition, organists can participate by using Play the Organ Year material to introduce one or more new people to the instrument over the course of the year.
A Play the Organ Year listings page – at rco.org.uk/play – is open for organists and venues to upload details of their Play the Organ Year events, so that people can search for events near them throughout the year. The site also includes a free downloadable Play the Organ Year resource pack, including how-to guides and advice, branded content and templates, and detailed plans and resources for hands-on Play the Organ sessions suitable for anyone from a complete music novice to someone with a little experience of piano or other keyboard instruments.
