Friends of the Wanamaker Organ announces a grand centennial gala October 1 in Macy’s Philadelphia Grand Court. Rossen Milanov conducts the Symphony in C, with Peter Richard Conte as organ soloist.

A special selection of works for organ and orchestra includes Guilmant’s Symphony No. 2, Jongen’s Hymne, and Widor’s Symphony No. 6 in G Minor for Organ and Orchestra. The concert is presented by Macy’s and the Friends of the Wanamaker Organ.
