Saturday, April 26, 2025, 1-3pm: It’s International Pipe Organ Day! Drop by various churches to hear a demonstration and try out (yes, that means you get to play) the pipe organ to help Victoria become the Pipe Organ Capital of Canada by setting a record for the most people playing a pipe organ that day! A friendly organist will share their knowledge and raise awareness of the pipe organ, its music and the Royal Canadian College of Organists training programs and scholarships. This is a FREE event, so bring your kids or grandkids to create some awesome sounds! For more information, please visit www.rcco-victoria.org to see what pipe organs in town are available for you to explore.
