It saddens me to think that most civic organs are unplayed, except very occasionally.
We have a wonderful, modern, diverse organ in the Sydney Opera House's Concert Hall, but it might as well be boxed up and sold as it almost never gets played.
The Sydney Symphony (as my home town band) use it obviously when playing orchestral music scorred with pipe organ. What puzzles me is why contemporary composers aren't strongly urged to score for it when new music is commissioned.
What are your views??
