Macy's spectacular Flower Show opens March 28 (Palm Sunday) and closes April 11. The Organ plays at the scheduled daily times during that period.
WANAMAKER ORGAN DAY 2010 is slated for Saturday June 26, and weekend festivities are slated to include benefit events surrounding the dedication of the Friends Wurlitzer organ in Greek Hall in performances featuring Jim Riggs and Steven Ball.
Hearing the Wanamaker Organ is a life-changing experience. Our society is sponsored by people around the world who are helping protect the world's largest playing pipe organ. We invite you to join the Friends and receive four issues of our 16-page newsletter and member-access to all Friends activities.
The Wanamaker Organ is undergoing a multi-year restoration. Divisions that have been patched together are getting a thorough restoration. Members help sustain this crucial work and our music, education and hospitality programs. Members receive all the details on the restoration and Friends concerts, as well as news of private concerts, tours, and fund-raisers.
