The
Warragul Theatre Organ Soc. Inc. is an integral part of Wesley of
Warragul, but the organ itself is owned and maintained by our
club.
Concerts
are to expose the great Theatre (pipe) organ for folk who wish to enjoy
in their own vicinity; also for any newcomers to find the magic, along
with the young musicians to take up the baton and run with it to not
only play, but to learn the art of tuning and maintaining for the
future.
Concerts
of the past have drawn a select number of avid followers of the organ
and organists, always telling the story of seeing, as a child, the organ
(console) rising out of the floor of the theatre with the music
playing.
A memory etched forever.
This
is not being experienced now, although in Melbourne city and suburbs
there are still Theatre pipe organs, (refer to "Links" on this
website), but ours is exclusive to the whole of the Gippsland area.
1.
We are in need of young blood to play, learn the workings and maintain.
2.
Young adults that could run an incorporated not for profit Club who
would need to live in close proximity for month to month duties.
3.
To follow the constitution and expose the Wurlitzer to as many people as
possible by creating and presenting quality entertainment.
4.
Due to the age of our existing members it is becoming difficult to
operate as easily as once we did. Health and mobility is also taking its
toll.
Looking
forward to finding solutions to our situation in the near future —
with many thanks to Anne Simmons who did a marvelous job in putting us
out there.
