Review:
Open-air free organ concerts in Balboa Park have been very popular Sunday events in San Diego ever since Adolph and John Spreckels donated the organ in 1914. It is one of the biggest outdoor pipe organs in the world. It has 4,725 pipes, with pipes that range in length from the size of a pencil to 32 feet.
The organ is located in a vaulted, highly ornate structure with heavily embellished gables, and it provides regular, free of charge concerts every Sunday. During the International Summer Organ Festival, there are additional concerts on Mondays.
The Spreckels Organ Society is in charge of programming, preserving, and promoting the organ and organ music.
Spreckels Organ Society, 1549 El Prado # 10, San Diego, California 92101, Phone: 619-702-8138
