WELCOME

 We welcome you to the Connecticut Valley Theatre Organ Society, an organization dedicated to the preservation of the theatre pipe organ and its music. This instrument provided the background music for silent films, and was, later, featured during stage shows.

With its diversity and power, this distinctly American instrument produces a sound like no other in the world. It can be a symphony orchestra or a single solo instrument, and the performing artists demonstrate this as they play every type of music from classical to popular.

MEMBERSHIP

If you are interested in preserving the theatre pipe organ as a unique American instrument, then membership in the Connecticut Valley Theatre Organ Society is for you. Here you will find individuals with varying backgrounds who have the same love for this majestic organ and are committed to maintaining its place as a special musical instrument.

Many of our members are hobbyists who play because they love to, and a few lucky ones are fortunate to have theatre pipe organs installed in their homes.

As a member, there are many functions in which you may wish to participate, but that is up to you. The enthusiasm can be catching. Applications may be picked up at the information table at each concert. Membership payments can be sent to: CVTOS Treasurer, 13 Brookwood Drive, Newtown, CT 06460.
