The “Union Wallonne des Organistes” has been created in 1967.
The purposes are the promotion of Walloon organists and composers, and the development of the organistic and carillon legacy of Wallonie.

The quarterly review "L’Organiste" (in French) appeared for the first time in 1969.
It contains among others articles on the history of organs, biography of musicians, various news, and a previously unpublished musical supplement for organ and for carillon.

Every year, one annual concert brings together ten organists around an organ in Wallonie or in Brussels.
Each organist plays a work of a French-speaking Belgian or Walloon composer.

All the back issues of the quarterly, and all the musical supplements are available upon request.

To receive the review "L’Organiste", you just need to pay a contibution.
