OrgAlt Resources

This area of the OrgAlt site is designed to assist Canadian organ presenters and both Canadian and international artists in working together to produce organ concerts in Canada.  Many of the articles collected here are taken from past issues, or will appear in future issues of the OrgAlt newsletter.

Although for ease of access some resources are divided into those directed at Artists (and their management) and Presenters, both are encouraged to review resources from the other’s area: as in every field understanding tends to underly the best partnerships.
