Organs and organ teachers in Ramnicu Valcea, Romania

[Swell]

I have three talented teenage organ students (same family) moving from Newcastle, Australia, to Ramnicu Valcea, Romania.

I would love to know what pipe organs there are in this city and any organists/organ teachers who we could contact to explore the organ culture there.

Many thanks!

There seems to not be a whole lot of pipe organs within Romania. There are a church installations listed here.

Another pipe organ can be found here.

A listing of universities within Romania can be found here. Surely one of those might be close to where the students or moving. Those universities will be better equipped to handle a query for organ tutors and/or instruction classes.

Lars, re that first link to organs, when I checked English organs it only lists 2, USA lists 4, yet 12 for Australia, I don't know what their criteria are for inclusion in the list but I wouldn't consider it comprehensive!

The following site has 242 pages of PDF on Roumanian organs, and their history, it is in Romanian and English, also has a lot of pictures from page 41 onwards

I see what you mean, Mike. The last copyright date for that site is 2012 and probably was a 'starter project' for someone doing a university class requirement and never got completed.

Thanks for providing the better link :tiphat:

Thanks for your help! It will be interesting to see what turns up when they arrive later this year. We will have lessons online to keep them going. I plan to go over there next year and join them with some other of my students, to attend the Haarlem International Organ Festival.
