The 2011 ATOS Annual Convention was a stunning musical success. Located in the heart of historic New England, the Eastern Massachusetts Chapter (EMCATOS) hosted several hundred theatre organ enthusiasts in a dizzying array of stellar instruments and musicianship. EMCATOS also holds the distinction of being Chapter One–the very first ATOS chapter to be chartered.

For those who enjoy the sounds of the Wurlitzer organ, the 2011 convention was a dream come true. All instruments heard throughout the week were very fine examples of Wurlitzer organs. Among the instruments was the Hanover Theatre’s beautiful 4-manual 35-rank Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. In addition, conventioneers enjoyed four other world-class instruments, including the Wurlitzers at Babson College, Shanklin Music Hall, the Zeiterion Theatre, and Providence Performing Arts Center.

This 2-CD commemorative album showcases over 125 minutes of music from 2011 convention artists Jelani Eddington, Chris Gorsuch, Simon Gledhill, Ron Rhode, Donnie Rankin & The Beryllium Gentlemen, Mark Herman, Brett Valliant, Jonathan Ortloff, Dave Peckham, and The American Band..
