Sydney Organ Competition

Please click here for full details and information on how to enter.

Starting at St Philip's, York St at 10am - note change of time

The Sydney Organ Competition 

The Sydney Organ Competition has been in existence since 1988. It is administered by the Organ Music Society of Sydney. 
The aim of our Competition is to foster a high standard of performance amongst young organ students so that they may gain experience in performing publicly and under pressure. 
The Sydney Organ Competition encourages them to seek higher levels of excellence by competing. It also gives them an opportunity to meet their peers.In 2025 our 75th anniversary year, the competition is as important as ever. 
This year the Intermediate Section (eighteen years and under) and the Junior Section (fifteen years and under) will take place on Monday 6 October, 2025. There will be no Open Section in 2025 as this section is held every second year. 

Please visit the event website at
https://www.sydneyorgancomp.omss.org.au/ for more information. 

As a member of the OMSS, you are invited to consider participating in the Sydney Organ Competition by contributing "named" prizes for competition winners. These prizes could be in a person's name you choose to commemorate and in any amount of money you decide to give. Your support would not only help us make this event a success through broadening the scope and range of prizes (you may choose to underwrite a prize for the best baroque or modern performance), but it also provides the opportunity to encourage and recognise emerging organists who will make a contribution to the organ performance and will ultimately serve in our churches and cathedrals or become soloists. 

Should you be interested in donating a prize, please contact the Competition Committee for more information at: edu_subcommittee@omss.org.au
