Who Are We?
Die Suider-Afrikaanse Kerk- en Konsertorrelistevereniging (SAKOV) bevorder musiek-, liturgiese en orrelboupraktyke in suidelike Afrika deur kerk- en konsertorreliste, predikante, musiekgroepe, kerkrade en orrelbouers te ondersteun om funksionele, relevante en geïnspireerde diens te lewer. Dit bring orreliste en ander belangstellendes vakkundig met mekaar in kontak, en verskaf vakwetenskaplike inligting en voorligting. SAKOV tree verder adviserend op en poog om verantwoordelike riglyne neer te lê en aanbevelings te maak – ook ten opsigte van salarisse en dienskontrakte van orreliste.
SAKOV is op 10 Mei 1980 gestig. Sedertdien publiseer SAKOV gereeld ‘n geakkrediteerde vaktydskrif, Vir die Musiekleier / To the Director of Music, sowel as Nuusbriewe. Skolingskursusse word jaarliks in die dertien SAKOV-streke in Suid-Afrika en Namibië aangebied, en spesiale projekte soos publikasies en opnames word onderneem. SAKOV-lede word blootgestel aan die nuutste inligting en nuus ten opsigte van orrelmusiek.
With close to 1 000 members, SACOS is a home for all organists and organ music lovers!
