CAMBRIDGE ORGAN SCHOLARS’ FORUM
The Cambridge Organ Scholars’ Forum was founded in 1999 to provide specialist training and support for the Organ Scholars of Cambridge. Funded principally by the Colleges, the Forum organizes a series of varied events each year involving many leading teachers and performers from the UK and abroad, as well as providing a useful point of contact between the Organ Scholars across the University. A number of Organ Scholars act as Secretaries of the committee and help with planning and administration. The current senior members on the committee are Mr Andrew Arthur (Chairman) and Dr Geoffrey Webber. The following information gives an idea of the type of events promoted by the Forum:
