Choir & Organ shines a global spotlight on two distinctive fields of creativity, celebrating inventiveness and excellence in all their forms. We aim to inspire our readers through giving a platform to conductors, organists, composers, and choirs of every kind; and showcasing the imaginative craft of pipe organ building across the centuries, critiquing new organs and tackling ethics in restoring historic instruments.

Specialist writers appraise new editions and recordings of standard repertoire and works fresh from the composer's pen, while our news and previews chart the latest developments in a changing world and present opportunities to become involved. 

Choir & Organ is an invitation to engage with two unique areas of music – to explore the new, and look afresh at the familiar.

Subscribers receive monthly print issues; monthly digital issues; and access to our complete digital archive allowing you to search and explore every issue since our first edition in 1993.

'If there is one independent organ journal that all musicians who are organists should read, then Choir & Organ is it.

David Titterington, head of organ studies, Royal Academy of Music, and director, International Organ Festival at St Albans
