Foort Moller — renowned theatre organist associated with the historic Möller organ (Opus 6690) — is a name that echoes through early radio and theatrical music. Commissioned for performance across Britain before World War II, this five-manual, 27-rank touring theatre organ shaped the sound of a generation. Foort served as BBC Staff Theatre Organist from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Britain’s most popular radio entertainer in 1937. After moving to the United States in the early 1950s, he continued recording and performing until his passing in 1980. The Foort/Möller organ found a final home at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, where it opened on April 23, 1980, preserving a pivotal piece of organ history.
