“Welcome to TourBus 2 where we visit the great
organ in Methuen, Massachusetts. Wow, we
certainly had a great time with this famous
instrument – so much fascinating history and, what an organ case! In
this DVD, join
me as we walk inside the great organ and see the mammoth workings of
this huge
instrument. Then I sit and chat with Edward J. Sampson (President of
the Board
of Trustees of the Methuen Memorial Music Hall)
as he unveils the history of this amazing instrument. This organ
originally
traveled in the 1850s by sea from Germany to the USA and was
installed in the Boston Music Hall. It was the
first concert hall organ in the USA. Then, learn
what happens next to this precious
treasure. Plus see me perform a concert on this instrument. This organ
has a fairytale
story – enjoy!”
