Friends Of The Wanamaker Organ Holiday Concert

The Friends Of The Wanamaker Organ sponsored a holiday concert at Macy's Philadelphia last Sunday. Featured was a soprano singing along with organ accompaniment. This lady, whose name I do not know, had a very pretty voice. The beautiful sounds filled the Grand Court.

Music At The Holidays

Here's the last in the series of fun holiday windows at Macy's Philadelphia. The store is a joy at the holidays especially with the daily organ concerts featuring the Wanamaker organ, the largest pipe organ in the world. Speaking of organ music, last evening we attended a concert at Verizon Hall that featured members of the brass and percussion sections of the Philadelphia Orchestra and an organist. Music is the essence of the holiday season for me, so I try to max out on my listening at this time of the year.

The Holidays Are Upon Us

It seems like the holidays are rushing toward us. We have a lot to do this week including trips to see relatives. The winter solstice is on Saturday. Winter arrives at 1:08 AM Saturday morning. It feels like winter out there this morning, actually. Here's the fourth in the series of holiday windows at Macy's downtown. Yesterday I attended the "Friends Of The Wanamaker Organ" concert in the Macy's store. This is always fun. The great organ sounds wonderful any time of the year, but I particularly enjoy listening to it around the holidays. Yesterday's concert featured a soprano singing with organ accompaniment. The sounds that filled the great center court in the historic store were fantastic!
