For 15 years Florence Mustric has performed on the historic Beckerath pipe organ at Trinity Lutheran, near the West Side Market in Cleveland.
On Sunday, November 8, starting at 2 p.m., she will play a Music Marathon to benefit the restoration of the Beckerath organ.
Her goal is $20,000, the amount needed to finish the Pedal division and to approximately reach the mid-point of this $300,000 project.
To sponsor Florence:
The goal boils down to $75 per minute. She has a play list of faves, over 4 hours of music, with selections running the gamut from J.S. Bach favorites to a modern rhumba. Pieces range from 2 minutes (Pink Panther fugue or a Brahms prelude) all the way to Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.
Angels ($1,000) will be guests at a post-Marathon celebration at Fat Cats, thanks to chef Ricardo Sandoval.
Instead of water breaks, there will be cameo appearances by critic-author Robert Finn, jazz-pianist-composer-golfer Marshall Griffith, WCLV-alumna Rebecca Fischer Knab, and comedian-rainmaker Carol Rivchun.
