The purpose of the Auckland Organ Association (AOA) is to foster and promote an appreciation, understanding and interest in organs, organ building, organ music, in the Auckland and surrounding regions of New Zealand.

• hold meetings and activities for the exchange of ideas, mutual support and fellowship of those interested in organs and organ music

•  encourage young people and others to learn to play the organ and to enter formal study

• support church, concert and amateur organists in their craft, and provide opportunities to increase their skills

• arrange and promote solo recitals or concerts incorporating organ, by local and visiting artists

• provide information and advice on, the organ and its music

• liaise with other musical groups with similar objectives

Events are held approximately once a month and take the form of public recitals (concession rates for members), master classes, workshops, lectures, visits to organs of local and historical interest, and social functions.

In addition to the above, members receive a regular newsletter and the periodical of the New Zealand Organ Association, NZ Organ News.
