Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ

 

Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ 

Have you ever wondered what air sounds like?

 

Discover the grandeur of the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ – an instrument that uses ninety thousand cubic feet of air every minute and can produce anything from a delicate whistle to deafening thunder.

 

Originally built in 1929, it was lovingly refurbished and relaunched in 2001 and now contains drums, bells and almost eight thousand pipes across three Town Hall levels.

The City of Melbourne's Grand Organ music program presents:

  • virtuosic solo performances of classical organ music spanning over four hundred years
  • orchestra and band concerts performing with the organ
  • new jazz pieces written specifically for the Town Hall instrument
  • opportunities to see the instrument from the inside.

Best of all, most of the events are offered free.
