Took a leisure trip to Philadelphia, PA this past weekend where I saw the Wanamaker Organ’s (https://wanamakerorgan.com/) last concert at the closing Macy’s in Center City Philadelphia. I’ve attached some recordings and pictures I took with my phone at the event.
I drove in from NY at around 5:30 PM and was feeling pretty disheartened, presuming I had missed the end of the all-day finale concert. But inside Macy’s was a dense, contemplative crowd of people standing, sitting in nooks, or lounging around mannequins and disassembled department store fixtures. The concert continued until well after 7 PM. This was my first time seeing and hearing the organ. I felt extremely lucky to be able to have this experience.
