About Us
CLESO exists for those who have a passion for the organ and its music in the City of London, East London and Essex. Everyone is welcome to join us including organists, those who enjoy listening to organ music, or people who would just like to support the organ world in our area.
Our aims are to encourage those with an interest in the organ - especially the young, promote musical activities relating to the organ and build a social network of organists and those who support the organ.
We arrange a series of events throughout the year. These include concerts, training events, visits to organs of interest and an annual dinner where members and friends can meet socially. We also help to promote other musical events connected with the organ and church music in our area.
Our president is Catherine Ennis and our current chairman is David Bird.
Information about CLESO is also available in a leaflet which can be used to promote the Society in churches, other public places or at events.

CLESO is affiliated to The Incorporated Association of Organists - the national body covering all matters connected with the Organ. Its magazine, the Organists’ Review, is published quarterly and contains articles of general interest on organs and music and also news of other organ association events throughout Britain. Members are encouraged to subscribe to this journal which is offered at a reduced rate. New members of CLESO will receive a complimentary copy.
