The 2026 season of the Detroit Theater Organ Society’s storied Organ Pops Concert series continues with another afternoon of superlative organ music at the historical Senate Theater. For over sixty years DTOS has brought in some of the nation's and world's finest organists to harness the power of our Mighty Wurlitzer theater organ. This year, in the Senate's 100th year, we are happy to continue that tradition here in Southwest Detroit! 

For our second concert this season we are bringing in esteemed organist, Brett Valliant! Don’t miss your chance to experience the majesty, nuance and diversity of sounds that only a theater pipe organ can provide.
