Kent County Organists' Association
KCOA Mission Statement
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 include recitals, lectures, discussions and visits to places of interest in various parts of the county and sometimes further afield.
An Improvisation Class led by Gerard Brooks at St Leonards Hythe on Saturday the 1st February 2025 at 2.30 p.m.
Please put the date in your diaries. More info TBA
Birmingham Trip March 2025 - A further update, amended dates and Itinerary.
We can now confirm a visit to the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and both Cathedrals between the 10th and 13th March (N.B. amended dates) with an invitation to visit Coventry Cathedral on the return journey. Here is the provisional plan for our trip.
Christmas Lunch at Canterbury Cathedral Lodge
Don't miss this year's celebration, not forgetting the time-honoured raffle!
The meal is costed at £27 per head and reflects a concessionary rate in respect of my 'Friends' membership. We encourage partners and guests and look forward to welcoming you all. For those further away from Canterbury you may like to consider an overnight stay in the Lodge in which case an early booking directly with them is advisable.
Participatory Choral Evensong, St Bartholomew's church, Otford
If enough people are interested, we might eat locally before the meeting. Sadly, the Five Bells (Peter Warlock's pub!) does not serve food, but there is the Malt Shovel, almost exactly opposite the turning for Lullingstone.
