pluSWOne - the SWO recruitment campaign

If every SWO member introduces just one girl or woman to the organ we will double the number of women who appreciate our instrument, so please do take part, wherever you are! pluSWOne asks you to invite a girl or woman of any age – a friend, relation, member of your congregation, even a casual acquaintance – to the organ console and show them how to play the organ. Previous keyboard experience is unnecessary and you need not be an advanced organist yourself, as our guidance sheet outlines simple activities that will delight your recruit. At the end we ask you to send us a photo of the recruit at the console, a comment from them and the location of the introduction. View the pluSWOne guidance sheet.
