World class Wurlitzer organ finds new home
The world class Wurlitzer Theatre Organ from Sydney the organ will return to life come back to life in the restored Liberty Theatre in Yass.
A group of passionate music lovers spent many days, many hours and many trips between Yass and Sydney to dismantle, pack and move this famous operating 1927 Wurlitzer Theatre Organ.
Originally from the now demolished Regent Theatre in George St, Sydney, the organ will return to life come back to life in the restored Liberty Theatre in Yass. Generously gifted to the “Friends Of Liberty”from the Estate of the late John Atkinson.
The organ will be recommissioned into the Liberty Theatre on Comur St Yass once funding of $3.5million is secured to restore the 1939 art deco building. Thank you to everyone involved.
