	Royal College of Organists
		The College of Organists was established in 1864, the result of an idea by Richard Limpus, organist of St Michael's, Cornhill in the City of London.
		This idiosyncratic building was to be the College's home from 1904 to 1990, and gave it a stability which enabled the officers to concentrate on their work of administering the examinations raising standards in the profession and developing the Library.
		Today, the College is a multi-faceted membership organisation whose professional and educational work is aimed at all who have interests in the organ and choral music.

	Royal College of Organists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal College of Organists or RCO, is an educational body of the United Kingdom.
		The RCO was founded as the College of Organists in 1864 by Richard Limpus, the organist of St Michael's Cornhill in the City of London, and received its Royal Charter in 1893.
		The College has since announced that it will not longer be looking for a permanent home of this kind, focusing instead on core activity such as education, events, examinations and member services.

	classical music - andante - u.k.'s royal college of organists names performer of the year
		The biannual competition, which was open to organists born after 1960, is the only U.K. contest that allows its finalists to show off their skills with a full symphony — in this case, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra under Rumon Gamba.
		The RCO is not expected to move into its new home, the former Curzon Street railway station, until 2004, in part because the extensive renovations will be slowed by the building's landmark status.
		In June, Queen Elizabeth, patron of the Royal College, visited the proposed new home as part of her Jubilee tour and planted a specially bred rose (named "Royal College of Organists") in honor of the College's move.

		Plans for a £22m modern extension to the Royal College of Art will be unveiled today, in what could be the standard-bearer for purpose-built art and design, teaching and studio facilities in the future.
		But Sir Christopher Frayling, a professor of cultural history, and rector of the college, said it was crucial that the design and appearance of the building reflected the college's work, thinking and study at the cutting edge of art and design.
		The fundamental philosophy of the college is a firm belief in the benefits of close collaboration between the disciplines of art, design, communications and humanities.
