Britain’s Simon Gledhill is ranked among the finest theatre organists around so don’t miss his tour-de-force performance on the mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ in the Great Hall.

Probably the only corporate banker to have an almost full-time second career as a theatre organist, Simon was named the American Theatre Organ Society Organist of the Year in 1987. His flawless technique, impeccable phrasing and unerring sense of the music have earned him the genuine admiration of both audiences and colleagues alike around the world.

Simon's concerts include a mix of light classics, showtunes and popular songs from the past hundred years or so -- not the standard classic organ repertoire, but just the kind of popular orchestral repertoire the theatre organ was devised to play.
