The Experience of a Lifetime

Play the organs in the great cathedrals of France, and England!

Since 1987, the French Organ Music Seminar has featured study tours to Paris and other locations where participants hear and play magnificent instruments and receive instruction (in English) in the form of master classes, lectures, and recitals from leading organists! These exciting seminars are planned for organists and organ lovers of all proficiency levels. Our schedule allows you to either stay with an experienced guide, or to venture out on your own.

FOMS and BOMS return to many popular locations each year, but each seminar is different, NEVER a repeat, adding new instructors, locations and topics. Graduate credit is offered by many colleges and universities for these seminars. Through the years many of our participants have formed long-lasting friendships, and the popularity of the seminars is evident by the large number of returnees.

Many people have asked about more specific itineraries. There is some news on each seminar which is being updated as information becomes available. France and England Itineraries will not be finalized until the spring, but will include morning, afternoon, and evening sessions, with choices to attend study seminars, large group organ demonstrations, private or small group lessons, or playing sessions. There will be time for you to play the organ, and repertoire will be formulated according to the wishes of the participants. Please prepare English music for England and French music for France, and let us know when we send out requests for your repertoire. You will be getting lots of sheets with lots of information in the coming months, such as organ histories, tips for traveling, updates on seminar instructors and events, descriptions of hotels, etc.
