The Royal Canadian College of Organists (RCCO), founded in 1909, is a national association of organists and church musicians in Canada, with 28 centres from Victoria, British Columbia to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The National Office is in Toronto.
The chief aim of the college is to promote a high standard of organ playing, choral directing, church music and composition. To this end, it holds examinations and grants diplomas, encourages musical events such as workshops and recitals, commissions new works, affords opportunities for discussion, and provides advice on being a professional musician. The college holds an annual summer convention. Recent conventions were held in Montreal QC (2017), Calgary AB (2018) and Halifax NS (2019). The college is registered as a charitable organization in Canada. [1]
