Re-posted with some audio adjustments.

Organist Peter Richard Conte and The Friends of the Wanamaker Organ Festival Chorus & Brass Ensemble salute Queen Elizabeth II on her Sapphire Anniversary.

In an ironic twist, this performance was happening at the precise time the terrorists were attacking London Bridge and Borough Market. I found out about the attacks when my daughter approached me after the concert & told me she was getting hundreds of text messages from her London friends.

The audio recording was made with a Zoom H4 and the video with a GoPro. It is almost impossible for a recording, even if it's made by professionals (which I am, most decidedly, not) to convey the overwhelming sonic splendor of this amazing musical instrument. This recording is not intended for audiophiles, but merely to document the performance.
