Mighty Wurlitzer Concert

For 38 years our Wurlitzer console rose from the depths of the orchestra pit in the New Victoria Theatre in Bradford to entertain patrons with musical interludes. Now installed in a specially converted building, the New Victoria organ plays once again, recreating the atmosphere of a different and more leisurely age.

Since the organ was first played in its present home in 1986, many thousands of visitors have come along to enjoy the sights and sounds of the 'Mighty Wurlitzer' in the hands of some of the finest exponents of the instrument. Now extensively restored, with the aid of a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, extra ranks of original Wurlitzer pipe work have been added and other changes made to further enhance its versatility.

A visit to the New Victoria Centre provides a rare opportunity to see and hear this special musical instrument , on visitor days and group visits, with a chance to get close to the instrument and find out just what makes it tick.
