MIdmer-Losh organ at Boardwalk Hall is the world's largest musical instrument.
ATLANTIC CITY The Historic Organ Restoration Committee is resuming recitals featuring two historic organs at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall, Wednesdays, April 6 to May 25.
The magnificent sounds of the massive 33,112-pipe Midmer-Losh and the beautiful W.W. Kimball organs return with weekly public recitals beginning noon Wednesday, April 6, except for May 18. Visitors of all ages will be entertained with various genres of music performed by renowned organists on one of the grand organs being restored by the Historic Organ Restoration Committee.
A special two-hour Curator's Tour begins at 10 a.m. in the lobby immediately followed by the noontime recital.
The extraordinary journey will take visitors through Boardwalk Hall as they learn about its history and architecture. Visitors will be guided through two of the large organ chambers and get up close to the seven-manual console that the organist uses to control the instrument to create an incredible musical experience.
The tour includes a visit to the restoration shop to meet the members of the Historic Organ Restoration Committee team and the dedicated volunteers to learn more about the amazing restoration project.
The recitals are being made possible with funding from the Atlantic County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
Donation for the Curator's Tour is $10.
