SITE USERS: To view the recitals that are confirmed as going ahead, click here. Most of the concerts that were listed for this year are now hidden from view, as it is unclear if they will take place. Consequently, many of the site's pages are currently empty.
RECITAL ORGANISERS: If you submitted an event for 2020 and it is definitely going ahead, e-mail 2020@organrecitals.com, giving just the name of the venue and the date of the recital, so it can be reinstated. If you have a new recital for listing, click here.
CONCERT-GOERS: Please observe national and local guidelines on social distancing, wearing of masks, etc. Also, before setting-out, use the 'location & enquiries' link, found in each entry, to contact the venue and check if the recital is still happening.

The small print:

•Only organ recitals in Britain (excluding the Channel Islands and the Scilly Isles) can be listed.
•For the purposes of this website, an organ recital is defined as a concert featuring music played on an organ, pipe or electronic/digital, that is fixed at its location, i.e. an instrument that is not considered to be portable.
•Organ master classes, and choral concerts, orchestral concerts, etc. are not organ recitals but the following formats may be eligible for listing: (1) Concerts where the organ accompanies other musicians, mainly soloists; (2) Orchestral concerts that include significant organ works, e.g. the Poulenc Organ Concerto or Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony; (3) Organ recitals that are part of a whole day's programme, provided they have their own admission; (4) Organ-a-thons, i.e. multiple concerts spread over some hours at a venue or venues; (5) Events that are part-lecture, part-recital; (6) Silent movies accompanied by the organ; (7) Christmas concerts, with organ, that include audience carols.
