                    Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ

                    Tour guide and visitor in front of the grand organ
                    Originally built in 1929, the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ uses ninety thousand cubic feet of air every minute and can produce anything from a delicate whistle to deafening thunder.

                    The Town Hall Grand Organ was lovingly refurbished and relaunched in 2001 and now contains drums, bells and almost eight thousand pipes across three town hall levels.

                    Why not go behind the scenes? For a closer look at the organ chambers and the Grand Organ Museum, book in for a free Melbourne Town Hall tour.

                    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. To search for upcoming events visit What's On – Melbourne Town Hall Tours.
