Since 1981 they've come from far and wide to see and hear Canada's largest Theatre Pipe Organ, located in the historic university and military city of Kingston, Ontario. The 3/28 Kimball Theatre Pipe Organ is the proud showpiece of the Kingston Theatre Organ Society (KTOS).

The KTOS is a (decidedly) non-profit registered charitable organization of local theatre organ enthusiasts - musicians, technicians and avid listeners - who got together to bring a modest-sized "retired" instrument to Kingston from a soon-to-be-demolished Ohio theatre and professionally expanded it from 12 to 28 well-balanced ranks of pipes, with a modern electronic control system. As in the theatres of old, the strictly functional pipes and working parts are out of sight, not to distract from the artist in the spotlight.

The KTOS is also a member of the Kingston Arts Council and is the only Canadian Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society. (Further information: Roy Young, KTOS President (613) 386-7295 )

Sure, Canada's largest Theatre Pipe Organ is in a church, but don't expect church music or many heavy classics at our Pops Concerts. We go more for the lighter stuff, like Strauss, Lehar, Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Ray Noble, Eric Coates, Glenn Miller, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Harry Warren or Duke Ellington. Get the picture?

Elvis? - H'mm.
