For those interested in hearing the Cedar Rapids Paramount Wurlitzer organ, it will be presented in concert Thursday evening October 30, 2014. Tickets can be obtained from the Paramount Box Office or Ticket Master. There is a behind the scenes tour of the Wurlitzer organ chambers prior to the performance.

The Riviera (Paramount) theatre had a 3 manual – 10 rank Barton Organ installed when the theatre was built. The organ was removed prior to demolition and still exists today in a private installation in Texas.
