Wanamaker Organ Daily Concerts
A Philadelphia Tradition Sustained Continuously Since 1911
Twice a day, six days a week, a switch is thrown, and nine massive blowers breathe life into the gigantic wind machinery of the world’s largest playing pipe organ. Its silken sound summons people from all over the planet.
