We regret that due to the ongoing global health crisis Organ Festival Canada - Victoria 2020, as well as the 2020 Summer Organ Academy, have been cancelled. Every day we learn more about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and there is much uncertainty about what the next weeks and months will bring. Recent developments suggest that it will be several months before we are out the other side of this. We were very excited about the Festival and Academy and are deeply disappointed to have to take this action, but after much thoughtful discussion and consultation, we have concluded that it is not viable to proceed.

For those who have already registered for the Festival, or purchased concert tickets, please visit the Organ Festival Canada website at rccovictoria2020.ca for more details and information about obtaining a refund.

Our next Festival and Academy will be held in Hamilton, July, 2021. We hope you will join us then. 

These are challenging times but we will get through it together. Stay well, be kind, and take care of each other.
