Mighty Wurlitzer Delivers “Happy Holidays”
Virtually for 2020
For a decade the Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ at Cincinnati Music Hall’s Ballroom has offered a heartwarming seasonal concert tradition, Happy Holidays. For 2020, the event returns virtually for friends and family with free streaming offered on Thursday, Dec. 3 at 7:00 p.m. presented by the Friends of Music Hall. The link will be live through Dec. 26.
World renowned organist Mark Herman has been a Cincinnati favorite, and he’ll be at the keyboard to pull out all the holiday stops with seasonal music. The evening will be hosted by Evans Mirageas, Cincinnati Opera’s Harry T. Wilks Artistic Director and a veteran radio commentator. Further entertainment will be provided by vocalists Thom Dreeze and Jennifer Cherest, Cincinnati Opera regulars, as well as dancers from the Cincinnati Ballet’s Otto M. Budig Academy.
Mark Herman is one of America’s busiest and most in-demand theatre organists. He has performed concerts across the U.S. and abroad in Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. In 2012, he was named Organist of the Year by the American Theatre Organ Society, the youngest person ever to be so honored.
Area residents who have enjoyed Happy Holidays with the Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ — as well as those seeking a special holiday experience — can order a FREE virtual link by emailing Mindy Rosen at mrosen@FriendsofMusicHall.org # # #
