The Detroit Theater Organ Society’s long running Organ Pops Concert series continues the 2025 season with yet another afternoon of songs and splendor at the Senate. This time around we’re combining the power of our Mighty Wurlitzer theater organ, (the eighth largest ever constructed) with the extraordinary talents of organist, Jared Goldinger! Don’t miss your chance to experience the majesty, nuance and diversity of sounds that only a theater pipe organ can provide. 

About the Artist:

Jared Goldinger, 26, from Jackson Township, Ohio, serves as the organist at both Faith Lutheran Church and Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Massillon, Ohio, and is one of the House Organistsat the Palace Theatre in Canton, home to the 3/11 Kilgen “Wonder” Organ, along with performing on the 3/17 Kimball organ every summer at for Cinema at the Square, a classic movie series held at the Connor Palace Theatre in Cleveland.

Jared began learning the piano at the age of 7 under the guidance of the late Jack Hone. In 2015,he expanded his repertoire by beginning classical organ studies under Mark Thewes and theatre organ with Jay Spencer. Jared attended the 2016 American Theatre Organ Society’s Annual Convention in Cleveland as a George Wright Memorial Fellowship winner. Further expanding his skills, Jared attended the annual Summer Youth Adventure from 2017 to 2024, and began studying with Jelani Eddington in 2018 to refine his technique and skill further. As a result, Jared was a finalist in 2019 and 2023 for the Young Theatre Organist’s Competition, held during the American Theatre Organ Society’s Annual Conventions in Rochester, New York, and Chicago, Illinois, respectively.

Jared’s music interest scopes beyond the organ, spending time creating music online, whether for clients or his own enjoyment. Notably, he has arranged a number of pop songs commissioned by Kent State University for their a cappella show choir “Vocal Intensity”. He hopes to continue creating music for the community and broadening his musical horizons to share with the world.
