THE CINEMA ORGAN SOCIETY – 13 NOVEMBER AT SALTAIRE
The CINEMA ORGAN SOCIETY
Presents
Robert Wolfe at the Mighty Wurlitzer
Sunday 13th November 2016 at 2.30 pm
Doors Open and Wurlitzer Café 2.00 pm
Robert Wolfe
Robert Wolfe is recognised as one of the world’s leading interpreters of the theatre organ. Acclaimed for his sheer artistry, renowned for his musicality, he is without question one of the top British organists. At the early age of sixteen, he became the youngest musician at that time to join the team of organists at the world-famous Tower Ballroom, Blackpool. After three years, in 1981, he was invited to inaugurate the Wurlitzer show at the Thursford Collection, near Fakenham in Norfolk.
Robert’s music is often heard on BBC Radio 2, and he has been featured on TV. Highlights of these broadcasts include playing live for The National Lottery, with an audience of around 20 million people hearing the magnificent sounds of the Wurlitzer organ at Thursford. During the winter months he performs concerts not only around the UK, but also the USA and Canada.
Don’t miss our final concert of 2016 on Sunday 11th December, with Scotland’s youthful maestro David Gray – a musical feast not to be missed.
The Wurlitzer will also be playing informally at the ‘Saltaire Switch On’ on the new date of Sunday 27th November, from approx. 3.30-6.30pm.
