National Anthem - GoPro - 4,518 Pipe Spreckels Organ - 100th Anniversary Balboa Park
Today on the 100th Anniversary of Balboa Park the Artist Played the National Anthem on the Spreckels Organ.
Very Incredible Performance, Thank You!
Initially, Bertram Goodhue's plans for Balboa Park for the Panama-California Exposition included a music pavilion that would be located north of Plaza de Panama. After Brazil decided not to participate with a building in the exposition, the pavilion was built at their site instead. Spreckels chose Harrison Albright to design the organ pavilion. Albright was a self-taught Los Angeles architect, who previously designed the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego. The semi-circular pavilion was built by the F. Wurster Construction Company in an ornate Italian-Renaissance design. The organ was built by Austin Organs, Inc. as their Opus #453. It has 73 ranks totaling 4,518 pipes and faces north to protect the pipes from the sunlight. The audience therefore faces south. Commercial airplane landings at San Diego's Lindbergh Field occasionally compete with the organ's sound.
During the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition the stage size was doubled and a fountain added.The fountain can be lit at night and is modeled after one in Chapultepec Park in Mexico City. In 1981 the pavilion was restored and in 2002 the organ was expanded from 3,400 to 4,518 pipes.

Moon Festival At The Organ Pavilion, September 27, 2015
On September 27, 2015, The Confucius Institute of San Diego State University and The House of China, presented The Moon Festival at The Organ Pavilion, here in San Diego's Balboa Park. It was a spectacular expression of the incredible beauty of the culture of China.
Some of it was more than just spectacular. Some of it was spellbinding. During one of the acrobat presentations, I was genuinely concerned for the safety of the artist, and was worried that I would have the dubious honor of being the first person in the world, to film someone getting killed at the Organ Pavilion. Thank goodness that it did not end that way.
A really special thanks to San Diego State University's Confucius Institute and to The House of China. I can't wait to see what they have planned for us next year.
And I thank you for watching.
Louis.

Spreckels Organ plays the National Anthem
Here's the National Anthem being performed on the Spreckels Pipe Organ in San Diego. Located in Balboa Park, the Spreckels organ had been the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world until recently. However, they are adding 500 new pipes this summer which will again make them the world's largest outdoor organ.
Pardon my shaky hand. I'm right handed, so being the National Anthem, I had my right hand over my heart while attempting to hold the camera phone with my left hand. I'm apparently not as ambidextrous as I thought. -Bill Jones, owner Bill Jones Music, Knoxville Tennessee.
