More organ music this afternoon, it should be fun and nice. I've been spending a lot of time in Rockefeller Chapel lately with tea and pipes on Tuesdays and now organ concerts. follow the link for more information on the event:

On Saturday, June 6 at 4 p.m., a glorious gala concert with the world premiere of Gene Scheer's “Albert Schweitzer Portrait,” performed on the E.M. Skinner pipe organ ...


Here is an article about the Carillon, the second largest in the world. and then another about pipe-organs. The pipe organ's aren't ours, but the article is really interesting!





Next time I'll get a photo of the outside... this is the inside we were up on the side balcony near the altar/front/organ/stage. These photos don't do the stained glass justice, unfortunately... I guess you'll just have to see for yourself.



This was directly across from where we were sitting. My favorite window is at the very end to the left(not shown) that one has a vibrant red floral thing.

And finally the next photo is of the organ! Lisa took the photo, I was there with her and Mark. There was another photo where I don't look as sassy, but I prefer this photo, it's more true to life, no?
