Middletown, NY — The mighty Wurlitzer returns to center stage at the historic Paramount Theatre as the
New York Theatre Organ Society (NYTOS) presents Paramount Pipes, a free public celebration of the

Join us for a special moment at the Paramount Theatre as the New York Theatre Organ Society presents Paramount Pipes — a free, all-ages event celebrating the theatre’s Wurlitzer pipe organ, now taking the spotlight for the first time since before the pandemic.
The event begins at 1:30 with a behind-the-scenes virtual tour of the organ chambers, including a live demonstration of the instrument’s remarkable range of sounds — from delicate flutes to powerful bass.
