LATOS Los Angeles Theatre Organ Society

Welcome!

Theatre organs were the world’s first synthesizers. They brought music to theatres in the first part of the 20th century before recorded sound was available. Using wind blown pipes to imitate the sounds of an entire orchestra, these remarkable musical instruments served as the sound track for "silent" movies. Intricate electrical controls gave a single musician the ability to fill a theatre with music.

Theatre organs still survive and can be found in some of the movie palaces of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Theatre Organ Society is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of these unique and fascinating musical marvels.

At this website you will find information about the theatre organs of Los Angeles including upcoming performances and other interesting facts.

We invite you to attend a live performances that includes a theatre organ to experience this unique and thrilling sound for yourself.

Return to this site frequently to learn about upcoming events!
