Thank you so much. A concert like this beats the heck out of TV.
Thanks great sound
Exquisitely played by a fine musician. Thank you again Mark. Someone recently said ~play what you like and people will enjoy your playing. That thought came to mind while listening. It's a very smooth and sweet sounding organ.
No musical instrument can capture/express the spectrum of human emotions better than the theater pipe organ. Imagine how excited little kids would get as the console rose up from the pit and the musical prelude to the silent movie would begin. Ima send a donation and put hearing this organ on the bucket list.
I know Mr. Ed Collins who led the effort to save this theatre 50 years ago. This Page organ was built in Lima, Ohio. Two Page organs came to California, one is in Avalon in the theatre and 3 ranks of chests of the other Page is in my home being played daily.
Stunning! More please😘 Video/sound quality, location, organ, repertoire and not least organist!
Since I first heard you play on the Chaminade H S organ in Mineola, NY all those years ago your talent continues to amaze me. To know that a younger generation will keep the spirit and music of the theatre pipe organ alive and well in the coming decades warms my heart. Thanks so much for this wonderful concert. Hopefully things can get back to some sort of normalcy this year.
many thanks for the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful musical experience all the way 👍 🎹 🙏🙏🙏
Super excellent with very good interesting video
What talent! What a pleasure to enjoy this music! Sure wish that I could play as well as you! Keep up the great work!
Mark, what a beautiful selection of music and from a theatre I know and glad they saved it. I got hooked on theatre organ in the 70's when I was introduced to the Paramount Music Palace on E. Washington street in Indianapolis. I'm from Noblesville and now reside in NE Tennessee, but still listen to ATOS radio and visit the Paramount in Brisral. I have noticed Carma and other organs that I am enjoying so much. Thanks for your wonderful talent on them!!
....no new music. You do have a problem Mark......you are an anachronism..which is fine. But you really are. The people that remember this music are all dead, and the tail-enders like me are nearly dead. A left handed compliment no doubt.
Even champagne music is out of favor. I’m sure you’ve found your place. I did a job for David Packard on the San Jose Fox theatre. He had the pipe organ and the whole theatre restored and added a pipe organ to the front loggia entrance hall.
Your technique is flawless. You are so good that you embody old Hollywood and all it’s passed down heritage......it’s as if you are channeling the past.
I’m hooked!
nice pedal work with the Nike sneaks!
I wasn't aware that this wonderful old movie palace still existed and in such great condition. Mark is so talented, too young to remember when going to the movies was as much about the theatre as the film. However he clearly has both talent and fascination for the golden age, best of luck to him :-)
Love to attend a concert if you ever get to Sacramento.
What a beautiful theatre: the perfect setting for an organ like this, and music like this. The commentary was also very helpful. I'm also a devotee of musical theatre. I'm from Australia, and we have some theatre organs preserved in cinemas (mostly by Theatre and Organ Society of Australia), notably Capri in Adelaide (owned by Tosa). A highlight of a trip to San Francisco was the opening organ at Castro Theater.
I’d love to play this one sometime. I think we have around 6 theater organs in Indiana, and so far, I’ve only played 3 of them. Thanks for sharing Mark’s wonderful talent on this amazing sound machine!
Mark I've never heard you play or known of you before but I'm completely in awe of your marvelous talent and playing skill with the organ. It is a rarely gifted person who is able to access the heart and soul of the organ especially the theater organ and enable it to really sing a full throated song as you do so musically and with such refinement! I'm very awe struck by you and your playing and I wanted you to know. If only I could know such a beautiful person like you personally! I'm also a musician and organist and it is so gratifying to find someone who can really make the organ sing and with all of it's resources. Keep up the good work and may I also tell you that it helps that you are such a very handsome and good looking guy!
Beautifully played, ,beautifully produced and recorded. What a joy to hear this fine and important instrument so expertly presented. Well done Mark!
I love your style of Theatre Organ music. So full of color, and so relaxing! Every piece is amazing!! 😊😊
Always a pleasure to hear the wonderful and unique sound of the theatre organ especially when it’s so wonderfully played and what a beautiful instrument 👌 my great grandparents owned a couple of theatres years ago in the UK I remember the Wurlitzer theatre organ they had in one of those theatres hearing those fabulous sounds brings back such happy memories thank you so much for sharing
Kudos! What a fine artist. Many Thanks.
🙏 🎼 even though this event was repeated I again shared it (with a big smile,) in FB 😉
Thanks for an uplifting concert amidst all the negativity going on in this nation. Just discovered you on UA-cam. Will be looking for more of your entertainment on both piano and theatre organ!,
I can smell the popcorn
Very nice. Greetings from London (the UK one, although I'm sure the one in Canada is very nice).
Truly delightful
Wonderful playing, and an amazing place! It's huge! What kind of events do they host in normal times? Does it ever get full?
The acoustics in that theater make it seem as if the pedals are sustained until the next pedal is played!!!
Esplêndido!!!!!
Hello, Mark hey you know there is a Little Island called Santa Catalina off the coast of California I hear that the Casino Has a Page Organ I wonder how it is doing these days? the last know recording was almost ten years ago .
Less yammering. More music better. Actually would be great if you didn’t talk at all
