Thank you for a wonderful video! We are so glad you came and enjoyed the event. This is by far the largest event we have done as an organization and we learned a great deal from it. We look forward to many more in the future!

Glad you enjoyed it! You folks did a fine job with cocktail hour, recital, and after party. I always enjoy a visit to boardwalk hall esp when the organs are involved. I go back to the McGirk (sp.) days of the 1990s. I’ve played the organ before the renovation. I hope to visit this summer and maybe have a chance to play again. I also hope you folks have more events like this. 👍

I just discovered Anna this month and I'm crushed that I missed this. I wish I could have known about this concert, I definitely would have gone. Hopefully next year.

It was my first time there. I loved it. Anna was great. I was sad I couldn’t understand her speaking.

The voice amplification was indeed awful.

You're good at this. We love your love of the stuff.

I had the pleasure of attending Anna's debut at the WDCH, she was an amazing performer live, and remained supercharged in the after show meeting the audience. She changed the program after discovering the capabilities of the venue's organ, it was a real treat.

I was there and it was an absolutely amazing concert. Anna is incredibly talented. Great program, yes, I agree that a Bach piece would have been a welcome addition, but the performance and music were stunning and very moving. The sound was incredible. Not only the full organ (yes, we heard the 64-foot diaphone and the ophicleide) but also the softer and gentler sounds, a single flute on Glass's Mad Rush. I had my picture taken with Anna at the reception. She is very gracious and upbeat. A truly memorable evening.

Check out “ The Pethricks “ , they live in France but found out several pipe organs were being away from churches in England. Since they bought an older convent building they decided to get one and took a team of family and friends to dismantle the organ and then mostly two inexperienced men reassembled the whole thing in the convent . The church has been deconsecrated but they wanted to save the organ. There are videos through the dissemble and them figuring out how to put it back together. One of them can play an organ a little. Thought you might be interested.🙋🏼‍♀️

It was a magical evening. Ms Lapwood had a marvelous program and the expression on her face, caught between the many console cameras, revealed the revelry in her performance. Followed her on to Princeton.

So cool! Anna Lapwood is so talented.

This is a wonderful, informative video. Thank you for it!

Thanks for sharing! It was an amazing concert!

Thanks for this superb video, I was sorry I couldn't make it. Hopefully she's going to come back next year.

Thank you for sharing. I got to see her in a packed cathedral in Pittsburgh which affected the acoustics so she didn't play one of the scheduled pieces. I saw pictures of the AC hall and was hoping to hear more.

Neat context! Wish there had been at least some music. Is there a video of that somewhere?

Not sure. Out of respect for the “no recording” printed in the program, I didn’t record anything but small excerpts. But I saw microphones there and Michael barone from pipe dreams. So I’m confident that will be a thing in the future. You should contact the boardwalk organ people and ask. Scott Banks is the guy. He’s a good guy.

It's "losh" like "gosh"!

wow hardly any waves
