Dayton Ohio - Skinner Pipe Organ Performances

Hear the historic Skinner pipe organ at the Dayton Art Institute

Hear the museum’s restored Skinner pipe organ and see the beautifully renovated Mimi and Stuart Rose Auditorium! Matt Dierking from the Dayton Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will resume performances on the 1st & 3rd Sundays of each month  at 2 p.m. (unless otherwise noted).

Coming in December: Holiday Music Every Sunday!

In December, we get in the holiday spirit, with performances of holiday music every Sunday at 2 p.m.: December 5, 12, 19 & 26. In January, we return to every 1st & 3rd Sunday.

These informal performances are open to the public and included in the museum’s general admission. You don’t have to stay for an entire performance; feel free to come and go as you like during that time. Please maintain physical distancing of at least six (6) feet between yourself and others not in your party. Face coverings are required while in the auditorium. Maximum capacity in the auditorium is 75.

The Skinner pipe organ was installed when the museum building was constructed in 1928-29, and it is one of only a handful of such instruments still in existence!
