Our annual celebration of Bastille Day, replete with wine, dance, and music of ages past, the Boomeria Organ and Brass Extravaganza, is not to be missed! Preston Boomer’s unique Chapel Royale in the Bonny Doon redwoods houses a large Baroque-style, tracker-action pipe organ, on which expert organists perform their art. Reed Street Brass and the Bonny Doon Baroque consort provide additional musical delights, including Martin Gaskell’s Ceremonial Music for Organ and Brass. Costumed Baroque-era dancing adds to the spectacle. Inquisitive minds can satisfy their curiosity about the organ’s workings with our ‘organ crawl’ into the depths of the beast while in full play. Delicious snacks and fine wines round out the festivities.
