The primary programmatic function of the The Spreckels Organ Society is providing Sunday and special concerts at and on our world famous organ. This is done in coordination with the City of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department. The city pays support for the civic organist but the Society pays the bulk of its artistic director's compensation. The Spreckels Organ Society pays for extra expenses such as programs, additional musicians, vocalists and holiday decorations.
