American Theatre Organ Society

Valley of the Sun Chapter (Established 1963)

P.O. Box 36151

Phoenix, Arizona 85087-6151

Our chapter was originally organized in 1963 while the Orpheum Theatre's original Meisel & Sullivan instrument was being maintained and improved by Bill Brown and his friends. It was named the Valley of the Sun Chapter of American Theatre Organ Enthusiasts (ATOE), later to become ATOS. It has maintained a strong influence over music lovers in the state ever since.
