'Tis the season to listen to holiday music, and there's no better instrument to provide that festive soundtrack than a Mighty Wurlitzer theater pipe organ. (Okay, we're biased, but we think you'll agree!) That's right, we're carrying on tradition by closing out the 2024 Organ Pops Concert series at the Senate with a Christmas concert! This year we are featuring the supremely talented, Lance Luce!
But you won't simply be able to listen to unique theater organ arrangements of seasonal tunes on one of the largest theater organs ever built. Mr. Luce will also be asking you, the audience, to help promote the Christmas spirit by joining him in a carol sing-along. Additionally you can expect a short Laurel & Hardy film with live organ accompaniment, a perfect way to show off the power of our unique theater organ.
