RTOS Open Console

The concept of “open console” is one that allows RTOS members who are learning to play the theatre organ to try their hand at a theatre pipe organ. See the Open Console event schedule below. Most often, these are held at the Rochester Museum and Science Center’s Eisenhart Auditorium.

RTOS maintains a historic 3/12 Wurlitzer theatre organ in the Eisenhart Auditorium on the Rochester Museum & Science Center Campus, 657 East Avenue (at S. Goodman Street), Rochester, NY 14607.  RTOS members are invited to play the 3/12 Wurlitzer in “Open Console” sessions held each month.  See the schedule below.

To reach the Eisenhart Auditorium, use the same directions given for reaching the West Herr Auditorium Theatre except to turn right upon reaching East Ave. Then turn right again into the first driveway and proceed past the main museum building to the parking lot across from the Eisenhart Auditorium located on your right.  Other parking lots are available on the Museum campus.  See map here.

NOTE: Occasionally, the 4/23 Wurlitzer at the West Herr Auditorium Theatre becomes available and may also appear on the schedule below.
