Orpheum’s Mighty Wurlitzer gets an encore
Local historian and organist Vincent Astor plays the Orpheum’s Mighty Wurlitzer organ on Thursday, Nov. 5. On Nov. 19, the Orpheum will have a homecoming concert for the organ, which recently returned from a yearlong, $500,000 restoration. (Mark Weber/Daily Memphian)
After a $500,000 restoration, the Orpheum’s organ is “better than it was in 1928.” The theater will offer a free concert by organists Tony Thomas and Vincent Astor on Nov. 19.
