The
mission of TOSI is to promote and present theatre organ performance as
an internationally recognized art form. This will be implemented, in
part, by the following:
* Performance programming aimed specifically for the general public as well as enthusiasts. * Performance programming utilizing fine organs, including several in venues not readily accessible. * Programming involving performances by a wide range of accomplished artists, many of whom are all too infrequently heard. * Promoting theatre organ performance as a popular entertainment icon, thereby providing a unique musical experience. *
Programming scheduled within reasonably short time frames, thereby
permitting local audiences to participate without incurring significant
travel and housing expense. * Forming international alliances emphasizing the international character of the theatre organ. *
Having a Board of Directors of international character responsible for
all activities of the organization without having any additional and
cumbersome administrative structure. * Publishing a quarterly newsletter for members.
You
will note that these characteristic activities and approaches describe
an organization, which intentionally commits itself to filling in many
gaps which currently exist in the presentation and promotion of the
theatre organ. We are unaware of any other group of enthusiasts which
operates in this way. Hence, TOSI is clearly complementary to all other
such groups and is in competition with none of them. Additionally, we
will aggressively pursue cooperative ventures with other theatre organ
organizations around the world and work closely with them in a spirit
of unity.
We invite you to join us in this exciting venture.
