Prepared and presented on behalf of the Organ Music Society of Sydney by
Andrew Grahame advises that his programme "The Theatre Pipe Organ - Seriously" will return in 2005. Initially this programme was terminated at the end of 2004 due to major programming changes within 2MBS-FM. However many of these proposed changes have since been reversed following the resolutions passed at the recent AGM of the Music Broadcasting Society.
"The Theatre Pipe Organ - Seriously" will resume in March at the new timeslot of 6.30 pm on the 3rd Saturday of each month. There will be no broadcasts in January or February - the first of the new series will be on March 19.
"Colours of the King" which is presented on behalf of the Organ Music Society of Sydney will continue unchanged at 6 pm on the 2nd Saturday of each month.
