What is Orgelkids?

Orgelkids was founded in 2009 by Lydia Vroegindeweij. She wants to inspire organists, teachers and, in fact, everyone who wants to spread the love of the organ to future generations. Orgelkids provides ideas, tools and materials to work towards that goal. Each ‘organ ambassador’ can use these materials to organise and give substance to his/her own organ project.

Orgelkids would like to support you in doing so, because that is our motivation: sharing knowledge and experiences, so that others can carry out successful organ projects.

 

"What good are beautifully restored organs if no one can or wants to play them anymore?"
