Warragul
Theatre Organ Society
celebrated its 40th year in 2019.
First Annual General Meeting was held in the
Gippsland Organ Studio in 1979, by the (then) Warragul Organ Club, with 15
members.
The club became the Gippsland Division of TOSA in October 1989.
Other Warragul venues have also been our 'home' - the Education Centre,
Pindari (Vision Australia) and the Masonic Hall. First
meeting in Wesley of Warragul was on 11 June 2005, when we were
entertained by Chris Powell from the United Kingdom playing our Conn
Martinique Electronic organ (pre Wurlitzer installation).
Our
Society is indebted to TOSA (Vic) for their support and
encouragement.
Thanks
also to Bendigo Theatre Organ Society who donated their funds
towards our Wurlitzer, when their Society disbanded. The
Grand Opening of the 3/10 Wurlitzer was on 22 March 2008.
Four concerts were held across that weekend! Details of this
event features in the Gallery. Go
to Our Organ to learn about the
Wurlitzer organ restoration, installation and it's
specifications. Warragul
Theatre Organ Society aims to promote our Wurlitzer, theatre
organ music and also classical organ music.
We
currently have about sixty members.
