As part of the rerelease of the original “At the Organ Grinder” albums on CD, a portion of the net proceeds is directed to the American Theatre Organ Society’s youth programs.
Based on CD sales in December, a payment was sent today to the ATOS in the amount of $175.74 – all thanks to your support of the documentary project. This brings the total contributed to ATOS thus far to $730.28.
This contribution was directed toward the Young Theatre Organist Competition. Founded in 1985, the Young Theatre Organist Competition (YTOC) has aided in the career advancement of many theatre organists who perform internationally today. The immense success of the competition makes it a forerunner program, sponsored by the ATOS. YTOC is open to young organists between the ages of thirteen and twenty-five. Entering is free, and the rewards can be immensely gratifying!
NOTE: As of this writing, the first batch of CDs is more than 80% sold out – fewer than 20 copies remain. Order yours today!
