Pipes on Peachtree

“Pipes on Peachtree,” presented by Callanwolde Fine Arts Center and the Atlanta Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society, offers the opportunity to hear about Atlanta’s long-gone, wonderful movie palaces and neighborhood theatres, their organs and theatre organists of the 1920’s, ‘30’s and ‘40’s.

John Tanner, noted organ technician and historian, and Joe Patten, Atlanta’s “Phantom of the Fox” will present interesting facts and recollections of Atlanta’s movie palace golden age featuring a pictorial tour of the city’s majestic theatres and their organs.  John Clark McCall, author of Atlanta Fox Album and other articles about Atlanta’s theatres, will moderate the presentation.  Callanwolde’s 60-rank Aeolian residence pipe organ will be played before and after the program, and the 1920’s Gothic-Tudor mansion will be available for touring.
