Nederlandse Orgel Federatie
(Dutch Organ Foundation)
We are preserving a great cultural heritage.
For us and our children.
The Nederlandse Orgel Federatie (NOF) is a national association that aims to preserve the remaining theatre, cinema and studio organs in the Netherlands.
The association, founded in 1970, has, in addition to its members, a number of technical teams with volunteers who, in their free time, dedicate themselves heart and soul to keeping these beautiful instruments in optimum condition.
The NOF currently owns four organs, including the famous former studio organ of the VARA. In addition, the NOF has maintained the organs of the Royal Theatre Pathé-Tuschinski in Amsterdam and the Theater aan de Schie in Schiedam for decades. Events such as concerts, open console days, organist days, etc. are regularly organised on these organs.

The NOFprotector of theatre organs
Theatre organs have a technique that is visible, impressive, educational and stimulates great creativity for us and our children. This keeps us curious.
When words failmusic speaks
The Dutch Organ Federation (abbreviated name: NOF) is registered with the Tax Authorities as a public benefit organization (ANBI)
Algemeen NutBeogende Instelling
The Dutch Organ Federation is maintained by volunteers ...
We do our utmost to maintain, overhaul, intonate, tune and of course play the impressive theatre organs.
Also many other, background-like activities take up a lot of time.
What do you think of the beautiful glossy magazine NOFiteiten.
Or developing and maintaining the website.
Before an organist is arranged, there are also many tasks for the volunteers, such as:
- Arrange the organist.
- Arrange a hotel
- Accommodate the organist during his/her stay
- Arrange transportation (from Schiphol to hotel, to concert location and back)
Thanks to you as a member or donor, there is room for all the costs that come with it. Maintenance costs money.
That is why we as the NOF team also want to do a lot for you.
