	The Organ
		Like the original ownership of the Town Hall itself, the organ was originally commissioned and owned by the General Hospital of Birmingham, with the instrument being handed over to the City of Birmingham in March 1890.
		The Town Hall has always been the traditional home of the City Organist, and it was under one of the earliest City Organists, James Stimpson, that the popular weekly recitals began.
		The last concert to be given in the Hall before its closure for the current refurbishment was given in July 1996, again with Simon Rattle conducting the CBSO and joined by Thomas Trotter as soloist in a performance of Poulenc’s Organ Concerto and the Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony No. 3.

		Charles Dickens on behalf of the Birmingham and Midland Institute, took place on Tuesday evening, December 27, 1853, at the Birmingham Town Hall, where, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, nearly two thousand persons had assembled.
		The reading occupied more than three hours, but so interested were the audience, that only one or two left the Hall previously to its termination, and the loud and frequent bursts of applause attested the successful discharge of the reader's arduous task.
		The Hall was again well ruled, and the tale, though deficient in the dramatic interest of the CAROL, was listened to with attention, and rewarded with repeated applause.
