From the venue:
The Atlanta Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society will be hosting their Christmas celebration on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at Stephenson High School. The free concert provides an opportunity to experience classic songs performed on a rare traditional theatre pipe organ.
Ken Double, who regularly plays on the Mighty Mo at the Fox Theatre, will lead the program on Stephenson’s Grande Page organ. Larry Davis, Jay Mitchell, and Ron Carter will also perform songs will including “Winter Wonderland”, “The First Noel”, and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town”.
Theatre organs became popular during the 1920s and were designed to replicate the sound of a full orchestra on one instrument, including violins, flutes, trumpets, and even sleigh bells, allowing for a fully immersive performance from just one performer.
The American Theatre Organ Society was founded in 1955 to promote preservation and celebration of these unique instruments.
