Description
Seattle has been called “The Cradle Of The Theatre Pipe Organ,” as shortly after the turn of the last century the first pipe organ intended specifically to accompany a silent film was installed in the Dream Theatre in Seattle in 1908. Later, Seattle’s 1914 Liberty Theatre, Wurlitzer’s first major success in a dedicated movie theatre, was the organ that launched Wurlitzer as the leading theatre organ builder of the 1920s.
The 2010 Annual Convention of the American Theatre Organ Society was held in Seattle, Washington, and surrounding areas, from June 29 through July 3, 2010. Conventioneers enjoyed 17 fantastic instruments and an equal number of thrilling artists from around the world.
