Melbourne Town Hall

About

The Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ is the largest Grand Romantic Organ in the Southern Hemisphere

Story

Originally built in 1872, the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ uses ninety thousand cubic feet of air every minute and can produce anything from a delicate whistle to deafening thunder.

It was lovingly refurbished and relaunched in 2001 and now contains drums, bells and almost ten thousand pipes across three Town Hall levels.

The City of Melbourne's Grand Organ music program presents:

- virtuosic solo performances of classical organ music spanning over hundreds of years

- orchestra and band concerts performing with the organ

- original contemporary works written specifically for the Town Hall instrument

- opportunities to see the instrument from the inside

Best of all, most of the events are offered free of charge

Built way back in 1870 in a French Renaissance style, the historical and heritage-listed Melbourne Town Hall is a beautiful classically designed building in the heart of Melbourne. It's more than just being used as Council Chambers, it is often used as a venue for cultural and civic activities, including theatre, school and headliner concerts (the Beatles performed here), corporate functions, cocktail parties, weddings, receptions and a host of exhibitions. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is held here and so is the annual German Market, known as the German Christkindlmarkt and hosted by the Australian German Welfare Society. You can't miss this iconic building at during the festive season as it's decorated to look like a huge Christmas present. The Melbourne Town Hall, as does the City of Melbourne itself, really comes to life at Christmas.

Melbourne's grand old Town Hall which is used for a host of activities - I recently went to many shows in the Comedy Festival - funny yes and sold out shows, so the atmosphere was great, a real buzz - well worth a visit.

A great venue for events. I first went here as part of Open House Melbourne and thoroughly enjoyed walked throughout the side rooms. An even better experience was the mini festival as part of MMW 2017. This should happen more often! We felt so fortunate to be there.
