Enjoy a concert of light and popular music played on the superb Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ by American virtuoso Dave Wickerham. Born in Encino, California in 1962 he began playing the electronic organ at the age of four and had his first pipe organ experience at age ten. His musical education started at age seven.
When he moved to Arizona in 1976, he became Associate Organist at the famous Organ Stop Pizza Restaurants in Phoenix, Mesa and Tucson.
In 1984, Dave moved to the Chicago area to become Staff Organist at Pipes and Pizza in Lansing, Illinois. In addition to his performance there, he concertized frequently, as well as ministering musically and serving at various churches. He then had ten years at the Piper Music Palace Greenfield.
In 2011 he was appointed American theatre organist of the Year and has toured internationally, including the UK.
His engagement at Saltaire is part of a tour arranged by the Cinema Organ Society. We are delighted to welcome him back to play the Saltaire Wurlitzer.
Enjoy delicious refreshments before the concert and during the interval when new visitors can also visit the organ chambers below stage to see nearly 1000 pipes and percussions.
