the robert morton
wonder Organ
The Robert-Morton Wonder Organ in the United Palace is the last one of its kind in the United States.
In 1930, there were approximately 12,000 theatre organs in the United States. Today, only a few hundred remain, with fewer than 30 still in their original location and condition. The Robert-Morton Wonder Organ in the United Palace is the last one of its kind in the United States still in its original venue and one of the last remaining all-original theatre organs in the world.
Following years of water damage and fire, the organ became unplayable in the early 2000s. This work will make this grand instrument playable again so it can become the only remaining theatre organ in New York City in consistent use, inspiring and educating future generations of musicians and theatregoers.
