Welcome to the Friends of the Wanamaker Organ website!
Our next musical events are slated for Sunday October 31. At 2:30 P.M. Gordon Turk from the Ocean Grove Auditorium plays a special Halloween Concert on the Wanamaker Organ. Admission is free. Turk is followed at 4:30 by Jim Riggs accompanying Lon Chaney and The Phantom of the Opera on our Mighty Wurlitzer in Macy's Greek Hall. Admission for the movie is just $10. Please make plans now to attend these exciting events and bring your family!
The Friends has launched an ambitious Century II Music Endowment drive to mark the 100th anniversary of the Wanamaker Organ in the Store. Among the uses of the fund is revenue to buy much needed chairs for our concerts. Please consider making a contribution here. A prospectus on the fund is available here.
Please take note of our new mailing address and phone number at the bottom of this page.
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.
