If you have never had the opportunity to hear a historic theatre pipe organ, now is your chance. On June 21-22, accomplished theatre and classical concert organist, Ty Woodward, will perform four concerts at Scotty’s Castle in Death Valley National Park. The concert is sponsored by the Death Valley Natural History Association in cooperation with the National Park Service. The concert is held annually within the Upper Music Room of Scotty’s Castle. Proceeds for this event help fund the annual maintenance and tuning of the Scotty’s Castle Organ and its associated instruments.
This unique concert venue is available only one weekend each year, after the organ maintenance work has been completed and during the curatorial maintenance of the historic house itself. This work is completed each year to assist in preserving the entire artifact collection at Scotty’s Castle.
There are 40 seats for each concert and performances usually sell out well in advance. There will be two performances each night, 5:30 p.m. and 7:15 p.m., both Friday and Saturday, June 21stand 22nd.
Concert price is $45 per person. Seats are still available for purchase. All proceeds benefit the Scotty’s Castle Theatre Organ and Chimes Tower Maintenance Fund.To make reservations or to make a direct donation please call the Death Valley Natural History Association at (800)478-8564 ext 10.
